PPO dental insurance β what's usually covered
Most PPO dental plans follow a similar structure. Preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays) is typically covered at 100%. Basic restorative work like fillings is usually covered at 70β80%. Major procedures like crowns and root canals are often covered at 50%. Your specific plan may differ β that's why we verify your benefits before every appointment at no charge to you.
We accept most major PPO plans including Delta Dental PPO, MetLife, Guardian, Aetna, Cigna, United Concordia, and many others. If you're unsure whether we accept your plan, call us at (323) 319-5676 and we'll check within minutes.
Denti-Cal (Medi-Cal Dental) β what it covers in 2026
Denti-Cal provides dental coverage for Medi-Cal members. For adults, covered services include exams, X-rays, cleanings, fillings, root canals on anterior teeth, extractions, and complete dentures. Coverage can change year to year β we stay current on what Denti-Cal covers and will tell you upfront what your visit will cost.
We are actively accepting new Denti-Cal patients. There is no waitlist. Call us to schedule or book the $49 new patient special online.
How we verify your benefits
Before your appointment, our team contacts your insurance company directly to confirm your benefits, remaining deductible, and what your out-of-pocket cost will be for any planned treatment. We share this with you before we start β so there are no surprises at checkout. This service is completely free and takes about 24 hours.
