Denti-Cal (Medi-Cal Dental) Coverage in Northridge

Use Your Insurance
Sinus-connection-to-the-upper-teeth

Denti-Cal is California's Medicaid dental program, and it works differently from private insurance in some important ways, including an annual benefit cap and different rules for children versus adults. Our Northridge office accepts Denti-Cal and works to make sure patients on this program get the same clear, respectful explanation of their coverage as anyone walking in with a private PPO card.

Understanding Your Denti-Cal Benefits

Denti-Cal coverage looks different depending on your age and eligibility category, and our team walks through the specifics before any appointment:

  • Adult Coverage: Adults with full-scope Medi-Cal generally have access to exams, cleanings, fillings, extractions, and even anterior root canals, up to an annual benefit limit around $1,800.
  • Children's Coverage: Kids under 21 receive more comprehensive benefits through the EPSDT program, including preventive care, restorative work, and orthodontic coverage for those who qualify.
  • No Monthly Premium: Unlike private dental insurance, Denti-Cal comes at no cost to eligible members, removing the premium consideration entirely from your dental care decisions.
  • Annual Cap Awareness: Because Denti-Cal has a yearly dollar limit for adults, we help you plan treatment order so nothing urgent gets delayed by an unexpected cap.

Understanding an annual benefit cap shouldn't add stress to getting care you need. Visit our office at 18546 Roscoe Blvd #230, and we'll review your Denti-Cal eligibility and remaining annual benefit before recommending any treatment plan.

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.
