Can I choose my own dentist?

Yes, individuals enrolled in the Denti-Cal program can choose their own dentist, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Denti-Cal provides a network of dental providers, and it is essential to select a dentist who participates in this network to ensure that the services received will be covered by the program. If a participant wishes to see a dentist outside of the Denti-Cal network, they may need to pay out of pocket for those services, as coverage is typically limited to in-network providers. To choose a dentist, participants can typically search the Denti-Cal provider directory available on the Denti-Cal website. This directory includes a list of participating dentists, along with their locations and contact information. It is beneficial to verify whether the selected dentist is accepting new patients and to inquire about the specific services offered. Additionally, participants should consider the convenience of the office location and the hours of operation when making their selection. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding dentists and coverage, it is advisable to consult the official Denti-Cal website or the provider directory available there.
