A Denti-Cal Dentist is Near You!
Are you new to having Denti-Cal? It is the Medi-Cal dental fee-for-service program. It can be a little confusing to find a Denti-Cal dentist in your area. We know this which is why we want to make it as easy as possible for you! Our desire is to meet the needs of our patients! Therefore, we are very happy to announce that Escondido Dental Group now accepts Denti-Cal.
Is Denti-Cal the Same as Medi-Cal?
If you are a Medi-Cal beneficiary, look no further in your search for a local dentist that provides Denti-Cal! We are approved to provide covered dental services to our patients who are Medi-Cal beneficiaries. The Escondido Dental Group and Orthodontics is proud to offer excellent care to Denti-Cal beneficiaries!
What Services are Covered?
According to the California Department of Healthcare Services, Denti-Cal covers a variety of dental services for Medi-Cal beneficiaries, such as:
· Diagnostic and preventive dental hygiene (e.g. examinations, x-rays, and teeth cleanings);
· Emergency services for pain control;
· Tooth extractions;
· Fillings;
· Root canal treatments (anterior/posterior);
· Crowns (prefabricated/laboratory);
· Scaling and root planning;
· Periodontal maintenance;
· Complete and partial dentures; and
· Orthodontics for children who qualify.
What to Expect at your Appointment
You may have some lingering questions about how this all works. Here are two commonly asked questions regarding the appointment with your Denti-Cal dentist:
· What do I need to bring with me to my appointment?
Please bring your BIC (Benefits Identification Card) and your ID. Additionally, bring proof of any other dental coverage you have.
· Will there be a copayment?
Some Medi-Cal dental services have a small copay, dependent on the services rendered. This is something we would be happy to explain to you once we know the type of dental service required.
We want to reach out to those in our community with Denti-Cal and make this an easy and smooth experience. Please contact our office with any questions or concerns you may have!
