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

• Map and directions

• I understand that in this building there are about 10 clinics or so. This positive review pertains to the Orthodontics Clinic in the third floor. First of all, the service I've received since 2025 has been nothing but great. I am being attended by a resident doctor (Dr. Park) and the orthodontist (Dr. Nichelini) who oversees my treatment. Both have been great. As an adult that dealt with horrible orthodontics procedures as teenager, I've never seen much change like I've with these two doctors all in ONE year. If you have insurance that includes this center or are in financial capacity for this, please look up this Clinic. The most impressive part is that not only have my teeth straightened over time but I no longer suffer clenching nor neck problems since my treatment has progressed. 10/10

  In terms of billing, I appreciate the service by the Patient coordinator, Jingky Malaluan. She was super responsive and transparent about payment processes. I was able to pay the other half of my treatment in monthly installments. Otherwise I don't know how else would I have been able to afford this.

• I am so disappointed with this dental office. My appointment has been rescheduled multiple times causing more dental issues for me than I originally had. They don’t care they don’t try to work with you. They don’t care if you’re driving an hour away they really don’t care about your dental health issues. Honestly, if you don’t have Medi-Cal or dental, I would go far away from this facility. Cause by the time they even get to your filling appointment that’s gonna need to be pulled because they made you wait a year or they kept rescheduling your appointment for other people who have the same issue but they feel like theirs is more important.

• Before making an appointment to get an expert opinion on paying $600. for dental guards prior to radiation I asked if the practice accepted Delta Dental insurance; told yes and reminded dental guards not covered. I learned the following: 1.no expert dentist just new graduate wanting to learn, 2. understaffed as is common st UCSF the entire staffing was an interpreter for deaf dentist who spoke clearly & clearly did not need one, a front desk/telephone person being forced to assist, and a dental hygienist who rushed in after a 45 min wait to direct the other woman to take molds for dental guard3. I asked to wait until dentist arrived and learned I still needed to wait an additional hour! 3. I had planned a pick up after 2 hours & said so 4. dental assistant took routine X-Rays and 5. Dentist appeared for a 15 minute visit, 6. Learned the clinic no longer made recommendations re dental guards I needed to ask my dentist, ditto about warnings my ex a physicist gave me on the importance of pulling bad teeth prior to radiation- ask my dentist because the UCSF DENTAL CLINIC FOR HEAD AND NECK CANCER PATIENTS no longer has experience dentists!!! After m 15 minute visit to learn any questions I had could ONLY be answered by my own dentist I was asked yo pay $300. IN ADDITION TO THE DELTAL DENTAL COVERAGE (I had no deductible or co-pay and Delta paid amount for cleaning not done, X-Ray and full exam). I am being asked to pay so dental residents and new dentist can examine persons with head & neck cancer, the original plan to TEACH dentists had been abandoned I image another need to save money. Cancer patients have too many costs NEEDED to improve survival. UCSF is a teaching hospital, but no one is teaching in the dental clinic staffed by dental students who must be disappointed to be abandoned— along side patienys.

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.
