Understanding Medi-Cal Dental Coverage in California
Medi-Cal's dental program, called Denti-Cal, provides dental coverage to eligible low-income California residents. As of 2024, full adult dental benefits have been restored in California, covering preventive care, fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns, and dentures. This was a significant expansion after years of limited adult dental benefits.
The challenge with Denti-Cal is finding a provider. Because reimbursement rates are significantly lower than private insurance rates, many dental offices do not participate. This can mean longer wait times for appointments and limited availability in some areas. The official Smile California website (smilecalifornia.org) and the Denti-Cal helpline at 1-800-322-6384 can help you find participating providers in Orange County.
If you have Denti-Cal but cannot find a provider near you, or if you need treatment that Denti-Cal does not cover, our office can help with affordable self-pay options and financing. Some patients use Denti-Cal for basic care at one office and come to MySmile for treatments like implants, Invisalign, or cosmetic work that their Denti-Cal provider does not offer.

Does MySmile Dental Care accept Medi-Cal?
No, we do not currently accept Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal) at our office. However, we offer affordable pricing, new patient specials, and flexible financing through Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and LendingClub to make dental care accessible. Many patients who do not have insurance or whose Medi-Cal benefits are limited find that our financing options make treatment very manageable.
What does Medi-Cal dental (Denti-Cal) cover?
Denti-Cal covers preventive services like exams, cleanings, and x-rays for adults and children. It also covers fillings, extractions, and root canals. Coverage for crowns, dentures, and other major procedures has been restored in California as of 2024 after being limited for several years. However, finding a dentist who accepts Denti-Cal can be challenging because reimbursement rates are low, which limits the number of providers who participate.
How do I find a dentist that accepts Medi-Cal near Anaheim Hills?
You can search for Denti-Cal providers through the official Medi-Cal Dental website at smilecalifornia.org or by calling the Denti-Cal beneficiary helpline at 1-800-322-6384. Orange County also has community health centers that accept Medi-Cal, including the Orange County Health Care Agency dental clinics. Your Medi-Cal managed care plan may also have a provider directory on their website.
What if Denti-Cal does not cover everything I need?
Denti-Cal has limitations on what it covers and how often. If you need treatment that is not covered, or if you want options that Denti-Cal does not include (like implants or cosmetic work), you can get that care at our office with financing. Some patients use Denti-Cal for basic preventive care at another office and come to MySmile for treatments their Denti-Cal provider does not offer.
What are my options if I cannot afford dental care?
Several options are available. Our financing partners (Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, LendingClub) offer monthly payment plans, many with $0 down. Our new patient special provides an affordable entry point for an exam, x-rays, and cleaning. Community health centers in Orange County offer sliding-scale fees based on income. Dental schools like the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry also offer reduced-cost care provided by supervised students.
Do you accept other government insurance programs?
We accept many Medicare Advantage plans that include dental coverage. Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover routine dental care, but many Advantage plans (Part C) do. We verify your specific plan before treatment. We do not accept Denti-Cal/Medi-Cal for dental services.
How much does a dental visit cost without insurance?
A routine visit including exam, x-rays, and cleaning typically costs $150 to $350 without insurance at most dental offices in the Anaheim Hills area. Our new patient special offers this at a reduced rate. More complex treatments like fillings, crowns, and extractions vary in cost. We provide a full cost breakdown before any treatment begins, and financing is available for larger treatment plans. For more details, read our guide on dental visit costs without insurance.
Can I switch from Medi-Cal to private dental insurance?
Yes. If your income has changed and you no longer qualify for Medi-Cal, you can enroll in a private dental plan through Covered California during open enrollment or after a qualifying life event. Many employers also offer dental insurance as a benefit. Private dental plans generally provide access to more providers and faster appointment availability than Denti-Cal.
