An Important Update for our Patients: The Next Chapter in Your Oral Health
For years, our practice has been committed to providing you with the highest standard of dental care. We believe that true health is a partnership built on trust and a shared commitment to your well-being.
To continue honoring that commitment, we have made the decision to step away from HMO insurance plans. This change was not made lightly. It is a proactive and positive step to ensure that we can provide you with the personalized, high-quality care you deserve, free from the limitations and restrictions of insurance companies.
We are not dropping you. We are simply dropping your insurance plan. We are excited to offer you two excellent options to continue your care with us and build a healthier, happier smile together.
Why We Made This Change
The reality is that HMO plans often compromise the quality of care by limiting the time we spend with you and the range of services we can offer. Our decision to transition is about reclaiming our ability to provide care that aligns with our professional standards and clinical judgment. This allows us to focus on what matters most: your health and our relationship with you.
Why This Change Is Better for Your Oral Health
No Compromises: We choose high-quality materials and techniques based on clinical need, not on restricted insurance menus.
More Time for You: Our focus is on the patient-doctor relationship, ensuring we spend ample time listening to your concerns and crafting personalized treatment plans.
Access to Advanced Technology: Our practice can utilize modern tools like laser therapy and oral sedation without needing insurance approval for every advanced procedure.
Seamless Solutions: Continuing Your Care with West Hollywood Smile Dental
We have two stress-free options designed to make this transition seamless, allowing you to remain a valued member of our patient family:
Option 1: Utilize a PPO Dental Plan
PPO plans offer maximum flexibility, giving you the power to choose any licensed dentist, including ours. We work with nearly all PPO plans and will always file your claims for you, maximizing your reimbursement and minimizing your out-of-pocket costs.
Flexibility: Choose your preferred provider without being limited to a single primary care dentist.
Direct Access: See specialists without needing a referral from a primary dentist.
Freedom of Choice: Use the best treatment and materials recommended by our doctors.
Option 2: Our Exclusive In-House Membership Plan
This is the perfect alternative for patients without PPO insurance or those who want the full benefits of coverage without the red tape, deductibles, or annual maximums.
No Annual Maximums: Get the care you need all year long without a coverage cap.
No Deductibles or Waiting Periods: Your preventive benefits start immediately.
Transparent Pricing: A fixed annual fee covers all your cleanings, exams, and X-rays, plus provides a significant discount on all other procedures (including cosmetic treatments).
Eliminate the Middleman: Enjoy a direct, simple relationship with our practice.

Top Questions about Dental Insurance
Which dental insurance plans are accepted at your West Hollywood office?
We are proudly in-network with all major PPO dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, Principal, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Ameritas. We also welcome out-of-network PPO patients and handle all claim submissions to ensure you maximize your benefits.
Can I keep my HMO insurance?
Yes, you can keep your HMO plan, you do not have to switch. You can choose to stay on your current plan and utilize our in-house membership plan or pay for services a la carte. However, switching to a PPO plan is often the simplest way to continue receiving third-party reimbursement while still choosing our practice.
Does West Hollywood Smile Dental accept HMO dental plans?
No. To maintain our commitment to uncompromised, high-quality patient care, we have transitioned away from the restrictions of HMO dental plans. We encourage patients with HMO coverage to switch to a PPO plan or enroll in our exclusive In-House Membership Plan to continue receiving the superior care they deserve at our West Hollywoodpractice.
Will I have coverage if I have a PPO plan but you are considered 'Out-of-Network'?
Yes, in most cases. A PPO dental plan is designed to provide coverage even if the dentist is out-of-network. Your benefits are typically higher when you see an in-network provider, but you still receive partial reimbursement when seeing an out-of-network dentist like us. We handle all the paperwork for you to ensure a seamless experience.
What is the benefit of a PPO plan over a restrictive HMO plan?
PPO dental plans offer greater flexibility and freedom of choice. You can choose any licensed dentist (like the specialists at West Hollywood Smile Dental) without needing a referral, and your dentist is free to use the best materials and treatment options, rather than being limited by the HMO network’s rules.
What is your In-House Dental Membership Plan and who is it for?
Our In-House Dental Membership Plan is an affordable, direct alternative to dental insurance, perfect for patients who do not have a PPO plan, have lost coverage, or are unhappy with their HMO plan. It features a fixed annual fee that covers all your preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays) and provides significant discounts on all other treatments, including cosmetic procedures.
Does your Membership Plan have a deductible or annual maximum?
No. The primary benefits of our In-House Membership Plan are No Annual Maximums, No Deductibles, and No Waiting Periods. This means your coverage and discounts begin immediately, allowing you to get the dental care you need without worrying about reaching a cap.
Will you file my insurance claims for me?
Absolutely. Our administrative team is highly experienced in dealing with PPO insurance companies. We will submit all your claims, track your benefits, and help you understand your estimated out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
What payment options do you offer besides insurance?
In addition to PPO insurance and our In-House Membership Plan, we accept all major credit cards, cash, and offer flexible financing options through third-party providers for larger treatments, such as CareCredit, Alphaeon and Cherry.
