Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing, enrolled since 2009
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.
Safety net clinic: Yes. Clinics like this usually see patients with Medi-Cal, with other public coverage, and with no coverage at all on a sliding scale. Ask what they charge if you are uninsured.
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

3.9

3.9 out of 5 from 55 reviews.

Do not recommend. Front Desk Lady is incompetent, rude and lacks customer skills.
First time i came here I signed in and waited almost and hour just for and XRAY bc she threw away the sign in sheet that I was on. (She didn’t apologize of course) She will schedule you for appts and not explain you may have to pay for the appt until you arrive for that appt. The same lady arrives late and unprepared in the morning. I came for a cleaning in March and no one let me know I was at risk for being dismissed from the program. I call today and ask her to explain what dates i missed, she refused and hung up on me and proceed to screen my calls.
As far as the actual dental care is 3/5 stars. The actual dentists are spread thin amongst the students so it prolongs the appts and if they dont finish before lunch they make you come back another day. Ive heard the instructing doctors give conflicting advice. Thankfully i dont have major issues.
Anything more than a cleaning and filling - just got to Mexico - this is not it at all.
Front Desk Lady, i hope you are loving all the feedback!!!!

Since switching to UCLA Venice Dental Center has been nothing but amazing! The staff has been super helpful. Dr. Ali had done an amazing job on my teeth. She is skilled and definitely takes her time. She got my teeth white and gums looking so much better! Thank you to Dr. Ali and the staff!

The Venice UCLA dental clinic is fortunate to have such accomplished dentists! I received excellent care from Dr. Ali, whose knowledge and skill impressed me very much. Gentle and thorough - she is a person of the greatest capability, and that's one of the many reasons the UCLA Dental clinic and staff deserves to be recognized for the best care, and the most dedicated and well prepared dentists. Now I can smile!

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. MaCario Dizon Soliman 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 (310) 396-5654 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.
