Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing, enrolled since 2014
Medi-Cal plan type: Fee for service. Medi-Cal dental also runs through managed care plans in Sacramento and Los Angeles counties, and the state list we check does not cover those. If you are on a dental plan card rather than plain Medi-Cal, ask the office whether they take your plan.
Other insurance: Not known. This list is built around Medi-Cal dental, so it does not track private plans. Ask the office which ones they take.

I came for my first time to have some X Rays taken and my experience couldn't have been better. This office gives a personal real home town feel. The receptionist was so nice and helpful. While waiting I watched patients come in greeted by first names, smiles and How have you beens? I could tell they were returning patients and happy being there. To me that's a Good sign that they're pleased with their care there. The X Ray technician was extremely gentle and friendly. I don't think I have ever been so comfortable in a Dental office in my life. Highly recommend this dental office. :) 10/10

My young daughter had her treatment with Dr Pope, a team traveled to perform the anesthesia for her treatment (and others), I had a good experience. Me and my older daughters waited in the lobby and I could see my tot was in good hands, she was bundled in her jacket, while we waited for the gas to wear off, it was quick and she has had good results as outcome of the visit ! Thanks to the staff for treating us well, I would come back again!

My daughter had received a referral to go here a couple months ago. The staff was super friendly. The only thing I did not appreciate was the dentist going to the receptionist while my daughter was in the back room under anesthesia and talking about my daughter’s insurance. Saying something along the lines of “this is why i hate taking patients like this” even though we came in through a referral that was 100% approved and paid for through her original dentist. I heard the receptionist be kind and say her insurance is actually good enough. Maybe he thought I was waiting in my car and not in the waiting room but the comment still wasn’t necessary.

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Bruce M Pope take Denti-Cal?

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (530) 695-1884 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.

What will it cost me?

For most Denti-Cal covered treatment there is no copay. If the office suggests something the program does not cover, ask for the price in writing before you agree.
