Denti-Cal & Medi-Cal & CalOptima

Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal and CalOptima Dental Care in Santa Ana

Pure Santa Ana Dentist is a family run practice at 1125 17th St, Suite E227, in Santa Ana. Our office accepts Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal and CalOptima dental plans, so patients with these plans can book a visit with our team. This page explains how we work with these plans, what to expect at your first visit, and how to get in touch.

What Does It Mean That We Accept Medi-Cal?

When a dental office accepts a plan, it means the office is set up to work with that plan’s rules, forms and billing. Our office accepts Denti-Cal, Medi-Cal and CalOptima dental coverage. We also honor other dental insurance, including PPO and indemnity plans, and Smile California dental plans.

People often use different names for the same kind of coverage. You may hear “Medi-Cal dental,” “medical,” “Denti-Cal” or “CalOptima dental.” Many patients simply call it “medical”, and yes, we accept it. If you are not sure which name applies to your card, bring your card to your visit and our team will look at it with you.

Who Is This Page For?

This page is for patients who have Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal or CalOptima dental coverage and want a dentist in Santa Ana who accepts it. It is also for family members who are looking for a dental office for children, adults and seniors in the same household.

Whether a plan covers a particular treatment depends on the patient’s own plan and its current rules. We do not decide that for you. Our team checks your plan and explains what your plan covers for your visit.

What to Expect: Checking Your Plan Before Your Visit

Dental plans change, and it can be hard to know what applies to you. For this reason, we check your dental coverage for free before your visit. Call us at 714-705-6852 or book online, and our team will go over your plan so you know what to expect before you come in.

When you arrive for your first visit, it helps to bring:

• Your dental plan card (Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, CalOptima or another dental plan)
• A photo ID
• A list of any medicines you take
• Any recent X-rays or records from your previous dentist, if you have them
• Any questions you want to ask the doctor

At your visit, your dentist will review your mouth and health history, talk with you about what they see, and explain the next steps. Your dentist will tell you what they recommend and why, and you can ask questions before you decide.

Our Office Uses Digital Technology

Our office uses electronic records and digital imaging. High-resolution digital imaging helps improve accuracy while using less radiation than traditional film X-rays. We also have a Cerec machine, a CT scan, a diode laser and an Itero scanner. Your dentist will explain which tools they plan to use for your care.

Services We Offer for Patients With These Plans

Our team offers a range of general and specialty services. Patients who have Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal or CalOptima coverage can ask about:

• General dentistry, including cleanings and exams

• Dental fillings, including tooth-colored restorations

• Tooth extractions and oral surgery

• Root canal treatment

• Gum disease treatment

• Dentures

• Emergency dental care

Whether a specific service is covered by your plan depends on your plan. We will check this for you before your visit and explain your options.

Emergency Dental Care

Dental pain does not wait for a convenient time. If you have a dental emergency, such as a toothache or a broken tooth, call our office during business hours and tell our staff you need to be seen right away. We will try to see you the same day during office hours. Our office is also one of the few practices that can often be reached after hours. For after-hours scheduling, use the online booking link on our website.

Cost, Insurance and Payment Options

The amount you pay depends on your plan and the treatment your dentist recommends. Because plans differ, we cannot give you a single price for a visit. Here is how we help:

• Free insurance check: We check your dental eligibility and explain your benefits before your visit.
• Accepted plans: Denti-Cal, Medi-Cal, CalOptima, PPO, indemnity and Smile California dental plans.

If you have questions about cost, ask our team when you call. We will tell you what we know, and we will tell you what we need to check.

Aftercare and Follow-Up

After your visit, your dentist will tell you how to care for the treated area and when to come back. Follow the instructions you are given, and call our office if you have questions or if something does not feel right. Regular checkups help your dentist track changes in your mouth over time.
