Orthodontic treatment
Most carriers contribute a lifetime orthodontic benefit toward braces or Invisalign — typically a fixed dollar amount, not a percentage of treatment. We confirm your specific benefit before the consultation.
Financing & insurance
The carriers we work with, and how coverage gets sorted.
Eight carriers in network, direct billing where the plan supports it, and a written estimate before any treatment starts. The details, plainly.

Medi-Cal & Covered California

How coverage gets sorted
From your card to a written estimate.
Same flow whether you are coming in for orthodontic treatment, a cleaning, or a TMJ consultation.
- 1
Verification before the visit
When you book, the front desk takes your carrier and plan number. We run an eligibility check before the consultation so we know what is covered before you sit in the chair.
- 2
A written estimate at the consultation
After the clinical exam, you leave with a written estimate that shows the carrier portion, your portion, and what the visit-by-visit plan would look like.
- 3
Decisions made at home
There is no same-day pressure to commit. Most patients review the estimate at home, talk it through, and call back to schedule when they are ready.
- 4
Direct billing where carriers support it
For most of the carriers below, we bill the carrier directly and you pay only your portion. For plans we cannot bill directly, we provide claim-ready paperwork you submit yourself.
What plans typically cover
A rough guide by treatment type.
Specifics vary by carrier and plan. The pattern below holds for most patients, most of the time — and we always confirm your particular benefit before treatment.
Preventative dental
Routine cleanings, exams, x-rays, and fluoride are usually covered at or near 100% under most carriers. Frequency limits vary by plan.
Cosmetic dentistry
Whitening, bonding, and most veneer work is considered cosmetic by carriers and typically is not covered. The written estimate states this clearly before any work begins.
TMJ and complex cases
Coverage varies widely by carrier and plan — some cover splint therapy, some do not. We confirm before any treatment starts.
Paying for the visit
No surprises at checkout.
We tell you the patient portion at the consultation, in writing, before anything is started.
- Payment is due at the time of service for any patient portion not covered by insurance.
- We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, HSA / FSA cards, cash, and check.
- [FILL IN: confirm whether in-house payment plans are offered for orthodontic treatment, and on what terms. Current site mentions arrangements but does not state specifics.]
- [FILL IN: confirm whether the practice partners with any third-party financing (CareCredit or similar). If not, this line is dropped.]
Coverage questions before booking?
The front desk can run an eligibility check by phone — you will know what your plan covers before you commit to the consultation.
