At South Gate Smile Dental, helping patients access affordable, high-quality dental care is our priority. We work with a wide range of insurance providers—making sure you get the most from your benefits and leave our office with a healthy, confident smile.
Dental insurance helps cover the cost of preventive care, routine treatments, and sometimes even major dental work.
Most plans follow a tiered structure:
Preventive services (exams, cleanings, x-rays) – usually covered 100%
Basic treatments (fillings, gum treatments) – often covered around 80%
Major procedures (crowns, bridges, dentures) – generally covered at 50%
Even when not fully covered, dental insurance reduces out-of-pocket costs and makes treatment more affordable.
Most plans cover exams, cleanings, and x-rays to help maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Fillings, extractions, and gum treatments are commonly included.
Full-coverage plans often extend benefits to crowns, bridges, dentures, and even some implant-related services.
We accept a wide range of insurance providers, including all major PPOs. Our dental team files claims, verifies benefits, and ensures you maximize coverage.
We also accept Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal) for qualified California patients.
