DenteMax Dental Insurance in Northridge

Use Your Insurance
navigating-aetna-PPO-plans-for-affordable-dental-care

DenteMax is a dental PPO network, not an insurance provider, which surprises a lot of patients when they first hear it. Insurance companies and employer plans lease the DenteMax network to offer members reduced, pre-negotiated fees at participating offices, ours included. At our Northridge location, we make sure you understand which part of your savings comes from DenteMax and which comes from your actual dental plan.

What DenteMax Actually Covers

Since DenteMax provides the discounted fee schedule rather than the insurance itself, here's how the savings typically show up for our patients:

  • Reduced Procedure Fees: DenteMax dentists agree to a set fee schedule, generally 20%-50% below standard rates, so your out-of-pocket cost starts lower before your plan's coverage is even applied.
  • Preventive Visits: Cleanings and exams often see the deepest discounts under the DenteMax schedule, making routine care especially affordable for member plans.
  • Specialist Access: DenteMax's network includes participating specialists, including orthodontists, so referrals for more complex care still come with negotiated pricing.
  • No Referral Required: As a PPO-style network, DenteMax members can see any participating dentist directly, without needing a designated primary care dentist first.

Because DenteMax sets the fee schedule and your actual plan sets the coverage rules, we check both before your visit. Stop by our office at 18546 Roscoe Blvd #230 with your plan information, and we'll walk you through exactly what you'll owe before any work begins.

The Staff make me feel so welcome. Dr. Pence has been my dentist for 40 years and has always given me the best of his experience and knowledge in the field. Marilyn, Lupita, and Alma have treated me like family for years. I can't imagine going anywhere else.
