We reserve 90 minutes for your initial exam to include a comprehensive dental exam with 3D digital radiographs which help provide the most accurate diagnoses to assess your overall oral health and dental needs

To prepare for your upcoming appointment, Dental Center of Atherton provides our patient forms online. Arriving with completed forms before your visit will also help ensure timely check-in at your appointment time.

We accept most dental insurance plans as an out-of-network provider to provide you with the very best comprehensive dental care for your oral health, and to maximize your comfort and time efficiency for single-visit treatment options for your convenience. Our focus is on your individualized care and we will do our best to help you maximize your insurance benefits whenever possible. We cannot guarantee reimbursement by any insurance company, and ultimately you are responsible for any remaining balances in your account.

We believe your oral health concerns and smile should not be left untreated because of financial concerns. As a service to you, we will provide dental treatment options that take into account your budget considerations and provide transparency in fees. Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before any treatment. We also provide financing options to help you make the best decisions for your oral health.

Our office has been working cooperatively with Delta Dental Insurance for approximately 20 years. With the recent decrease in Delta’s reimbursement rates to dental practices beginning January 1, 2023, we have found that it has become unsustainable to offer comprehensive care options with Delta Dental Insurance as an in-network provider. Due to these increasing limitations, our office has made the difficult decision to transition from being an in-network to an out-of-network provider for Delta Dental Insurance. This will become effective on date: June 1, 2023.
