Insurance and Payment
Hearthwood works with most PPO dental plans, among them Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, United Concordia, Ameritas, Humana, Principal and Sun Life Financial. Before your visit we check your benefits and send claims directly to your insurer, and you’ll see a clear cost estimate before any treatment begins. Medi-Cal and HMO plans aren’t accepted.
Without insurance, our $365-a-year membership plan covers 2 exams, 2 cleanings and routine X-rays, with 15% off most other treatment and no waiting periods. It is not dental insurance, and the discount doesn’t apply to implants, orthodontics or selected cosmetic procedures. CareCredit financing, including 0% interest promotional periods for qualifying patients, is also available. See our insurance and payment options.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit includes a review of your medical and dental history, X-rays and photos, a professional cleaning with our hygienist, and a comprehensive exam with Dr. Addison Yu, who goes over his findings and recommendations with you. Plan for about 70 to 120 minutes. Read more about Dr. Addison Yu and what to expect as a new patient.
