Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Not confirmed This office is listed as taking Denti-Cal but we could not find it in the current state listing. That is not the same as a no, so call and ask.
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.

What Patients Said

3.4 out of 5 from 8 reviews.

The staff was the best. They were really kind and patience with me. I chipped a little bit of my frontal tooth. The procedure they did was perfect. It feel like it’s brand new. I even got a rose from them which made me feel special. When u go to this clinic it give u a welcome vibe. I use to hate going to the dentist, but I would definitely recommend them.😁

All the receptionists are cocky, arrogant and rude. It takes MONTHS to be able to get an appointment. WARNING, do not go here for dental care. They will drill holes in perfectly healthy teeth just to get money from the insurance! The person who takes the x-rays doesn't know how to take pictures on the left side so they say there are cavities between the teeth but it is only shadows because she doesn't know how to take x-rays. The Doctor drilled a HUGE hole in a perfectly healthy tooth because they wanted to get money from the insurance. They will drill dozens of holes in your teeth just for the money!

The staff was wonderful. Front desk, Xray tech, nurse and doctor. For an urgent care with a full waiting room, the wait seemed pretty normal. Dr. Carson was awesome. Thank you!
