Getting in touch with your insurance company to learn what they cover is a good idea when preparing to involve your child in dental care. Although San Clemente Pediatric Dentistry is determined to make the cost of dentistry more affordable and to work with your insurance plan, the amount of dental benefits you receive is determined by your employer, your union, or your insurance company, not by us. The premiums you pay, and the benefits you receive are directly related and vary significantly from plan to plan. As a general rule, the lower your premiums, the less benefits you will receive.

Most dentists' Usual, Customary, and Reasonable fees (UCRs) do not correspond to your insurance company's standard fees; therefore, we cannot render treatment with the assumption that our fees will be paid in full by your insurance company.

Many routine dental services such as radiographs, cleanings, and exams are not covered by many insurance plans. Even if your plan does cover these services, they often impose age and frequency limitations such as two cleanings per year or one exam per year.

We encourage you to review your insurance policy and understand your coverages.
