Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing, enrolled since 2015
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.

This was my first time here as my provider changed. I was greeted cordially and the doctor came out as well letting me know they will see me soon. My last dentist, same area, was very difficult except the X-ray tech. I was in and out for an exam and cleaning. Happy

Came few years ago. Dentist was suppose to fix my tooth with root canal. Abscess grew on and off right on my gum of that tooth for two years. Went to a new dentist and they showed me x rays of the work done. Nerve wasn’t killed, root canal was stuffed horribly and not even stuffed correctly. Absolutely horrible experience! Oh and at the end of my initial dental visit when they were shaping my “filling” I saw the dental assistant roll her eyes because the dentist was taking too long to shape it. Would recommend this place to my enemies.

At the age of 54 I have all of my teeth wisdoms included. I recently had a filling fall out, went to Star dental and was told I need a root canal. I don't need a root canal at all it can be filled that's what my insurance said also. They are so busy trying to get extra money from me and insurance. I would owe $1k out of pocket if I did. not to mention the out of office orthodontist list they gave me for the root canal was even more money. A G for a crown for a procedure I don't need. Won't be coming back.

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. James Chaishin Chen 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 (209) 951-8088 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.
