Insurance & payment

Honest about cost, before we start

Most major PPO plans accepted, CareCredit for larger cases, and a written estimate every time. Nothing begins until you know the number.

How we handle it

Four ways we keep treatment affordable

Cost is the reason most people put off dental care. We would rather talk about it early, plainly, and in writing.

  • Most major PPO plans

    We are in-network with most major PPO plans and file your claims for you as a courtesy. Call us with your plan details and we verify the coverage before you come in.

  • CareCredit financing

    For implants, orthodontics or a full smile makeover, CareCredit spreads the cost over monthly payments. Our front desk walks you through the application.

  • Written estimates first

    You get the numbers before treatment starts, never after. If a plan changes once we are in the chair, we stop and tell you what that means for the cost.

  • Treatment in stages

    A large plan does not have to happen at once. We can sequence the work by what is urgent, what protects the tooth next, and what can reasonably wait.

Cost & insurance FAQ

What people ask about paying

If your question is not here, call the front desk. We would rather answer it now than have you guess.

Do you take my dental insurance?

We are in-network with most major PPO plans. Call the front desk at (310) 855-2434 with your plan name and member ID and we will verify your benefits before your appointment, including what your plan covers and what the remaining balance would be.

What if I do not have dental insurance?

Plenty of our patients do not. You still get a written estimate before anything begins, and CareCredit financing is available for larger treatment plans so the cost can be spread over monthly payments rather than paid all at once.

How does CareCredit work?

CareCredit is a health care credit card used for dental treatment. You apply once, and if approved you can use it to pay for your care and repay it in monthly instalments. Our front desk can start the application with you at the office or over the phone.

Will you tell me the cost before you start?

Always. We give a written estimate before treatment, not after it. The estimate reflects what your insurance is expected to cover and what is left for you, and we explain what drives the number so it is not a mystery.

Do you offer payment plans for implants or Invisalign?

Yes. Implants, orthodontics and full smile makeovers are the cases people most often finance, and CareCredit is set up for exactly that. Ask about it at your consultation and we will lay out the options alongside the treatment plan.
