To help you understand how appointments and insurance works at Mission Dental, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions below. If you still need more information, just call us at (415) 285-9900.

WHAT INSURANCE DO YOU TAKE?

We accept most PPO plans including: Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Delta Dental, Guardian, Lincoln, & Metlife. If your PPO plan is out of network with our office, you may still be able to have the cost of your visit partially covered. We do not accept
HMO or DMO plans.

HOW DOES DENTAL INSURANCE WORK?

For patients wishing to use their PPO dental plan, we bill your dental insurance provider and you cover the deductible and co-payments. The amount that you owe depends on your specific dental insurance coverage, and co-payment is collected at the time
of service.

WHAT IF I DO NOT HAVE DENTAL INSURANCE?

One option is to get our in-house membership. The membership is an annual fee of $250 which includes your two annual cleanings, exams, and necessary x-rays, as well as discounts up to 50% for any treatment needed. Another option is to apply for CareCredit. By paying with the CareCredit card, consumers are eligible to participate in short-term financing offers that enable them to make payments over 6, 12, 18 or 24 months with no interest charge as long as they spend at least $200 and pay the full bill within the agreed-on time period. Mission Dental can help you apply online with a valid ID.

HOW CAN I MAKE A PAYMENT?

Payments are collected at the time of treatment in the form of credit cards, cash, or CareCredit.
