800-989-6674How It Works
We Do the Insurance Legwork
You Call Us
Give us your plan details over the phone. It takes about two minutes and you do not need to bring anything in.
We Verify Your Benefits
Our team contacts your insurance directly to confirm your orthodontic coverage, lifetime maximum, and any waiting periods.
You Get a Real Number
We tell you exactly what your out-of-pocket cost will be before you commit to anything. No estimates that change later.
Whatever insurance covers comes off our all-inclusive $3,599 price.
That price already includes X-rays, records, every adjustment visit, retainers, and emergency care. Insurance benefits apply on top of it, they do not unlock hidden fees underneath it.
Yes, we accept Medi-Cal Dental (Denti-Cal)
We are an enrolled Medi-Cal Dental provider, so if your child is covered you can be seen here. Most private orthodontic offices in the area do not take it. Medi-Cal Dental, which nearly everyone still calls Denti-Cal, covers orthodontic treatment for patients under 21 when there is a medical need, such as a severe bite problem. It has to be approved before treatment starts, and we handle that paperwork for you. Coverage for adults 21 and over is limited.
Medicare is a different program and does not cover orthodontic treatment. Some Medicare Advantage plans add dental benefits, but those rarely extend to braces or aligners. If you are not sure which one you have, call us with your card and we will tell you where you stand.
No insurance? Most of our patients pay monthly.
We offer in-house payment plans with no credit check, and we work with dental discount and savings plans as well. Call us and we'll walk you through what monthly payment fits your budget.
