Dental Select Phone Number: The 2026 Contact Directory (Now Ameritas) for Members, Dentists, Claims & Logins
If you are looking for the Dental Select phone number in 2026, the honest answer is that Dental Select is now Ameritas. The Salt Lake City company was acquired by Ameritas, its standalone website dentalselect.com permanently redirects to ameritas.com, and its plans are now serviced, paid, and credentialed through Ameritas' dental lines. The DentalSelect name still exists, but today it refers to Ameritas' PPO network. This directory pulls the current, verified contact details into one place, organized by who is calling and why, so a front desk, a billing coordinator, or a patient can reach the right department the first time instead of calling a dead line. Every number and link below was taken from an official Ameritas source.
Key Takeaways
- Dental Select is now Ameritas. Ameritas acquired Dental Select (effective April 30, 2020), and as of 2026 dentalselect.com redirects to ameritas.com. Use the Ameritas dental contacts below.
- 800-487-5553 is the main dental line (Ameritas Customer Connections) for members and dental offices with claims, benefits, and eligibility questions.

- Claims route by payer ID: 47009 for Ameritas, 72630 for Ameritas of New York, with paper claims to P.O. Box 82520, Lincoln, NE 68501.
- "DentalSelect" is a network name now, offered as DentalSelect Gold and DentalSelect Platinum PPO tiers, not a separate company with its own number.
- Members log in at benefits.ameritas.com; dentists log in at ameritas.com/applications/group/provider.

What Happened to Dental Select?
Dental Select was a dental benefits company founded in 1989 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, offering group and individual dental, vision, and related plans. Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. acquired Dental Select effective April 30, 2020, and Dental Select now operates under Ameritas. For a while the two brands ran in parallel, but that transition is now complete: in 2026 the dentalselect.com website, including its member, broker, and provider subpages, permanently redirects (HTTP 301) to ameritas.com, and Dental Select plans are administered, serviced, and paid through Ameritas.
There is one point of real confusion worth clearing up. The DentalSelect name did not disappear entirely. Ameritas uses it as the brand for its PPO dental network, offered in tiers such as DentalSelect Gold and DentalSelect Platinum. So when you see "DentalSelect Platinum" on an ID card or a plan brochure, that is the Ameritas PPO network a plan uses, not a separate insurer with its own call center. Either way, the phone number you need is an Ameritas dental line.
The short version for a front desk
- Old: dentalselect.com, a Salt Lake City line, and a separate Dental Select member portal.
- Now: ameritas.com, member line 800-487-5553, and the Ameritas member and provider portals.
- On the ID card: "DentalSelect Gold / Platinum" describes the PPO network; the servicing company is Ameritas.

Each is confirmed against the official Ameritas contact page.

Members: Customer Service, Login & App
If you have a Dental Select plan through an employer, it is now serviced by Ameritas. Call 800-487-5553 (Customer Connections) for claims, covered benefits, remaining maximums, and ID cards. If you purchased your plan directly as an individual or family, your account, premium, and billing questions go to 800-300-9566 instead. Both are Ameritas-operated dental lines, not the company's life or retirement numbers.

Dentists & Providers: Lines, Logins & the DentalSelect Network
Dental offices rarely need just one number. Day-to-day eligibility, benefits, and claim status run through Customer Connections at 800-487-5553 (select dental, then provider). Anything about the PPO contract, joining or leaving the network, fee schedules, or credentialing runs through Provider Relations at 800-755-8844 (credentialing is ext. 88327). The portal below handles routine lookups without a phone call.
| Provider need | Contact | Login / portal |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility, benefits & claim status | 800-487-5553 (Customer Connections) / [email protected] | ameritas.com/applications/group/provider |
| Contracts, network & credentialing | 800-755-8844, ext. 88327 / [email protected] | Join via the portal: Other Links → Join Our Network |
| Ameritas of New York offices | Same phones as above | ameritas.com/applications/group/provider-ny |
| Provider Relations mail | Provider Relations, P.O. Box 82611, Lincoln, NE 68501 | |
The DentalSelect network (Gold & Platinum)
The DentalSelect name now describes Ameritas' PPO dental network, offered in tiers including DentalSelect Gold and DentalSelect Platinum, depending on how broad a provider network the plan needs. To confirm you are in-network or to find a DentalSelect provider, use the online directory at ameritas.com/applications/group/findaprovider or call 800-487-5553. Patients are always free to see any dentist, but in-network DentalSelect providers lower their out-of-pocket cost.
Joining the Ameritas (DentalSelect) dental network
Ameritas credentials in house. Request an application packet from Provider Relations at 800-755-8844, ext. 88327 or [email protected], or start the application from inside your provider account under "Other Links" and "Join Our Network." Most applications are processed within 15 to 20 business days. Provider Relations hours are Monday through Thursday, 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Central, and Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central.

By Department: Claims, Enrollment, Billing & Credentialing
Ameritas does not publish a separate 800 number for every back-office function. Claims, enrollment, and billing for members and offices mostly route through the two main lines plus the payer ID on the ID card. The table below shows which line owns each department so you are not transferred twice.
| Department | Who it serves | Phone | Mail / payer ID |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claims (Customer Connections) | Members & dental offices | 800-487-5553 | Group Claim Office, P.O. Box 82520, Lincoln, NE 68501 · payer ID 47009 |
| Enrollment / Group | Employers & benefits admins | 800-659-2223 | via [email protected] |
| Billing (individual plans) | Individuals & families (direct) | 800-300-9566 | via [email protected] |
| Credentialing / Provider Relations | Dental offices | 800-755-8844, ext. 88327 | Provider Relations, P.O. Box 82611, Lincoln, NE 68501 |
| Producer Portal support | Brokers / producers (technical) | 855-517-5307 (option 4) | via [email protected] |
Claims: the quick rule
Submit Dental Select / Ameritas dental claims electronically with payer ID 47009 (or 72630 for Ameritas of New York), or mail paper claims and pretreatment estimates to the Ameritas Group Claim Office, P.O. Box 82520, Lincoln, NE 68501. Verify eligibility first through the provider portal or Customer Connections at 800-487-5553, and always confirm the payer ID printed on the patient's ID card before filing, because a legacy Dental Select card may read differently than a newer Ameritas card.

Don't Call a Dead Line (or the Wrong Company)
Two common Dental Select misdials
First, the old standalone Dental Select line and dentalselect.com are retired. Third-party benefits pages still list a legacy Salt Lake City number, but it is no longer published on any official source, so treat it as outdated and use the Ameritas member line 800-487-5553 instead. Second, Ameritas is a large, multi-line company: the widely listed 800-745-1112 serves life and annuity policyowners, not dental. For anything dental, start with 800-487-5553, or 800-300-9566 if you bought the plan yourself.
Not the same as these look-alikes
"Dental Select" is the Utah company now operated by Ameritas. It is not the same as Select Benefit Services, and it is not Dominion National's Dental Services Select plan. If your ID card names one of those, call that company instead; the Ameritas lines above will not pull up those plans.

Where Documentation Fits In
For a sedation or oral surgery practice, every one of these calls (eligibility, claims, appeals) rides on documentation. Insurers deny or claw back payment when records are incomplete, and a Dental Select or Ameritas claim for a sedation case is only as strong as the chart behind it. A denial, a malpractice suit, or a board audit can turn on whether the sedation record is complete and time-stamped, and that single difference can be a six- or seven-figure swing. That is the gap iSedate's SedationVault was built to close.
SedationVault replaces paper sedation records with real-time oral and IV sedation charting, live vitals streamed from any monitor on the market, and digital intake and consent. On the Sedation Intelligence side, it also manages dosage, inventory, drug logs, and one-click, audit-ready PDF reporting, so a practice can run its entire in-office sedation operation with full, state-ready compliance. When a payer or a board asks for the record, the documentation is complete, time-stamped, and defensible, which protects both reimbursement and the practice itself.
