Dr. Babak Shabestari

Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal

Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing, enrolled since 2013

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

• Map and directions

• I used this office 20yrs ago and really liked their level of care. They no longer accepted my insurance so I moved on. Recently found out they took my insurance and revisited them because I needed dental work desperately. While I’m satisfied with the overall experience however, the time they took with the cleaning of my teeth was unsatisfactory. The assistant polished my teeth before they cleaned them and didn’t do a very thorough job cleaning them at all. I feel this is a very important step for a healthy mouth and because of this I will not return. I had a tooth extracted and was not given proper instructions on caring for this type of procedure. They advised me to use a straw and that is NOT good advice because of the possible way of getting dry socket. Front desk lady was kind and professional but the teeth cleaning was not to my standard and I feel this is very important. Thank you for reading my review and I hope this helps others to determine or perhaps this will help the office to change their protocol on dentistry. If they were willing to change how they perform this procedure I would be able to revisit them.

• I was always scared of the dentist and because of that my mouth was in poor condition. Standiford Family Dental has changed that for me. The staff is so friendly and the doctors go the extra mile to make sure your comfortable and pleased. A special thank you to Dr. Contreras and his assistant....I can't tell you how much I appreciate your professionalism and kindness.

• This place has bad dentists and customer service. They cancelled an appointment of mine without telling me. When I found out, the day of the appointment, I was frustrated and explained I took time off for the appointment so I need then to make some accommodation. They refused. The most recent dentist refused to perform my routine teeth cleaning until I saw a specialist for a troubling tooth, so when I followed up with the insurance company to see if the referral was made, the insurance company called the dentist's office, and the dentist decided he did not want me as a patient. (Mind you, this is the 3rd different dentist I've seen in this office in the last year and only met him two days before. How does he even know he wants me as a patient if he only saw me for two minutes to tell me I need to see a specialist?!) The only person I liked there was the dental assistant. She was nice. I saw three different dentists in one year there. Never the same dentist. I tried to give this place a chance, but after a year of being treated like my money and insurance wasn't good enough and dentists who care more about getting paid than the needs of the patients, I am glad to go elsewhere. This place is more about the money hungry dentist than providing care to the community. I felt like they didn't care at all.

What to Ask When You Call

Say you have Medi-Cal dental and ask if they are taking new patients. If the answer is yes, ask how soon you can be seen and what to bring. Take your Medi-Cal card and a photo ID.

If English is hard for you, Medi-Cal pays for an interpreter and the office can set one up. Ask for it when you book.
