Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing, enrolled since 1994
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

4.8

4.8 out of 5 from 35 reviews.

I brought my son to see Dr. Azad after visiting multiple places. I was told he would need oral sedation due to all the work he needed done. He ended up needing to go under anesthesia and Dr. Azad made me feel very comfortable with the situation. The insurance took a while to come through, but that was not the dentist's fault by any means. Once I got a call letting me know he was approved, I got a call right away from the Anesthesiologist, Dr. Kutzner. He went over everything very thoroughly, which made me feel very comforted as well. I also got another follow-up call the day before the procedure. I didn't experience this at another location with my other son. My son loves Dr. Azad, and that is what has made this whole experience more relaxed, considering the circumstances. She is very easy to talk to and cares a lot about her patients. The ladies in the front are so sweet and speak to you with care and consideration. I would highly recommend this place.

Absolutely wonderful with kids, and thorough with parents! Doesn’t over-prescribe and takes a practical approach to their long-term dental needs.
Teaches kids independence in dental care, empowering them to take on hygiene. Wish we had found her sooner, my kids are older and hope to stay with her as long as possible!

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Meshia Azad 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 (949) 458-0393 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.
