Dental Insurance

Dental tool and toothbrushJust as you need access to doctors to assure your continued good medical health, you also need access to dentist to provide care for your teeth.  Many medical problems can be traced back to poor dental care.  Most dental plans have a wide range of services including routine check-ups, cleanings and filings with little or no out of pocket costs beyond the monthly plan premium. 

Much the same as with medical insurance plans, dental insurance plans have two basic forms of delivering services.  The DMO (Dental Maintenance Organization) design is to dental what the HMO is to medical.  The PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) design is basically the same for both medical insurance and dental insurance.

We have selected to represent Blue Cross of California as it is one of the very few insurance carriers to offer a PPO option for individuals and families in California.  Please click on the preceding link or the Blue Cross logo below for detailed information on the available plans.
