We Work With Most Major Dental Insurance PPO Plans

At Silverlake Dental Group, we believe great dental care should be accessible — and we work with most major dental PPO insurance plans to help make that happen. If you have a PPO dental plan, there’s a good chance we work with it. Call our office at (323) 922-6016 and our team will verify your benefits before your appointment so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises, no guesswork.

How We Handle Your Insurance

We verify your benefits before your appointment. Before you come in, we contact your insurance company directly to verify your coverage, deductibles, annual maximums, and what your plan covers for the procedures you need. You’ll know what to expect financially before any treatment begins.

We file claims on your behalf. We handle all insurance paperwork and submit claims directly to your carrier after your appointment. You don’t have to deal with the administrative back-and-forth — we take care of it.

We provide a clear cost estimate before treatment. Before any treatment is performed, we provide a complete, itemized estimate of your expected costs after insurance. We don’t start treatment until you understand and approve your out-of-pocket responsibility. No surprises.

We maximize your benefits. Dental insurance plans often have annual maximums, waiting periods, and coverage tiers that can be confusing. Our team helps you understand and maximize what your plan provides — including coordinating treatment timing to make the most of your annual benefits before they reset.

Plans We Do Not Accept Unfortunately:

We are not able to accept the following:

  • Dental HMO plans (DHMO)
  • Medi-Cal
  • Denti-Cal

If you are unsure whether your plan is a PPO or HMO, check your insurance card or call the member services number on the back of your card and ask. PPO plans generally allow you to see any licensed dentist, while HMO plans require you to choose from a restricted network of providers.

No Insurance? We Have You Covered!

If you don’t have dental insurance — or if your plan doesn’t cover a procedure you need — we offer two options to make care accessible:

SDG Dental Membership Plan Our in-house membership plan starts at $425 per year and includes two cleanings, a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and one emergency exam — plus 10% discounts on all other treatment. No waiting periods, no deductibles, no annual maximums. Savings start the same day you sign up.

  • Single Member — $425/year
  • Dual Membership — $725/year
  • Family of 3 — $975/year
  • Family of 4 — $1,225/year
  • Additional members — $250/person

Flexible Financing For larger treatment plans — implants, full mouth reconstruction, All-on-X, Invisalign — we offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Sunbit, with low or no-interest payment plans available. Ask our team about current options when you call.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need to bring my insurance card to my appointment? Yes — please bring your dental insurance card and a photo ID to your first appointment. If you have both dental and medical insurance, bring both, as some procedures may be covered under your medical plan.

Can you check my benefits before I come in? Absolutely. Call us at (323) 922-6016 and we’ll verify your benefits in advance so you know what to expect before you arrive.

What if I have both dental and medical insurance? Some procedures — particularly oral surgery, dental implants related to trauma or medical necessity, and sleep apnea treatment — may be covered in part by medical insurance. We verify both dental and medical benefits for relevant procedures and maximize your combined coverage wherever possible.

What is the difference between in-network and out-of-network? In-network providers have contracted rates with your insurance carrier. Out-of-network providers can still be covered by PPO plans, though your out-of-pocket costs may differ. We encourage you to call us to discuss your specific plan — our team will give you an accurate picture of your benefits and costs before your appointment.

My plan isn’t on your list — can I still be seen? Very likely yes. Our list above is not exhaustive. Call us at (323) 922-6016 and we’ll check your specific plan.
