A patient’s DPPO insurance or Dental Preferred Provider Organization provides dental services to their clients. The kind of insurance a patient has determines which dentist they can go to. We accept a number of Preferred Provider Organization for dental care at our office. Our office can assist patients with their dental concerns with the help of their insurance.
Certain insurances may be able to cover exams, treatments, and procedures at the dentist office with co payments or minimal cost. Our dental office will help you file a claim if your PPO insurance is able to partially or fully cover your dental service.
Bringing an insurance card into the office is not required for your visit. Just inform a member of the front desk staff of which insurance plan you have, and any other information needed. Our office can help you find out whether or not your insurance covers any service our DDS will be performing during your visit, as well as notifying you of any kind of copayment that you may need to pay.

PPO Dental Insurance
PPO dental plans are the more common kinds of plans amongst families and individuals. This type of dental insurance provides in-network dentists for you but also allows for you to pick a dentist outside of the network. You do not need a referral in order to see a licensed dentist for dental service. You can switch your dentist whenever you choose want to without calling your insurance.
Typically, there is an annual deductible that must be paid before insurance can cover dental services. The insurance covers a portion of the cost while the patient covers the rest.
You are required to pay an annual deductible but the amount will depend on which insurance provider and which plan you have. A patient’s annual maximum also is dependent on which dental provider and plan you have purchased.
We also accept various out of network PPO insurance providers including Cigna, DC 37, 1199SEIU, GHI, HealthPlex, and Metlife.
