DENTAL INSURANCE

Understanding Dental Insurance

Dental insurance can sometimes feel confusing, especially when coverage varies depending on individual plans or employer-provided benefits. At Laser Dental Bakersfield, we make it easier by helping you understand your dental benefits with clarity and confidence. Our goal is to ensure you get the right care while knowing exactly how your insurance contributes.

We’re happy to submit claims on your behalf or provide the paperwork if you prefer to manage it yourself. While insurance companies do not always share full benefit details with our office, even with consent, we’ll guide you through the process as much as possible. Please remember that patients are ultimately responsible for the cost of services, but we’ll help minimize surprises by clarifying coverage before treatment begins.

Please note: We accept most PPO insurance plans, but do not accept Medi-Cal (government insurance).

To help us serve you efficiently, we recommend reviewing your insurance information before your appointment. This allows us to verify your benefits quickly and prepare your treatment plan faster. Some helpful questions to ask your provider include:

• What services are covered under my plan?
  
• What is the percentage of coverage?
  
• What is my annual coverage limit?
  
• Is there a deductible, and how much is it?
  
• Are alternate procedures covered within the same treatment category?
  
• What are the specific benefits for this treatment?
