Frequently asked questions
Do you accept my PPO plan?
Most likely. We accept most PPO dental plans. Call with your plan details and we'll confirm whether we're in-network for your specific plan.
What does a PPO plan usually cover?
Many PPO plans cover preventive care such as exams, cleanings and X-rays at or near 100%, basic care such as fillings at a lower percentage, and major care such as crowns at a lower percentage still, up to an annual maximum. Your plan's details decide the exact amounts.
Is a PPO plan better than an HMO plan?
PPO plans let you choose your dentist and usually don't require referrals, which is why many patients prefer them. HMO plans often cost less but limit you to assigned offices.
What if I don't have dental insurance?
We'll give you the cost up front, and CareCredit financing is available.
