Using Your Anthem Benefits at Our Office
Most Anthem dental PPO plans (including Dental Complete and Essential Choice) cover preventive care at 100%, basic services around 80%, and major services around 50% after a small deductible, with annual maximums typically between $1,000 and $2,000. Some Anthem plans also include extra cleanings for members with certain health conditions — we’ll check your plan’s specifics.
What Anthem Plans Typically Cover Here
Most Anthem dental PPO plans follow a 100-80-50 structure. Here’s how that maps to our services:
- Covered at or near 100%: dental check-ups, cleanings, exams, and X-rays — usually twice per year with no deductible.
- Covered around 80% (basic): fillings, simple extractions, and many periodontal treatments.
- Covered around 50% (major): crowns, root canal treatment, wisdom teeth removal, and oral surgery.
- Orthodontics: some Anthem plans include an orthodontic benefit that can apply to clear aligner treatment — we’ll check yours.
- Cosmetic treatments: veneers and teeth whitening are typically not covered by insurance, but our In-House Membership Plan members receive discounts on cosmetic procedures.

Anthem Blue Cross FAQs
Do you accept Anthem Blue Cross dental insurance?
Yes. West Hollywood Smile Dental accepts Anthem Blue Cross dental PPO plans, including Anthem Dental Complete. We verify your benefits before your visit and file all claims directly with Anthem.
My Anthem plan is through Covered California — do you take it?
If your Covered California plan includes Anthem dental PPO benefits, we can typically work with it. Call us at (323) 654-1100 with your member ID and we’ll verify your dental coverage — medical-only plans don’t include adult dental, so it’s worth a quick check.
What does Anthem cover for a routine visit?
Most Anthem dental PPO plans cover preventive visits — exam, cleaning, and routine X-rays — at 100% twice per year with no deductible, so a routine visit usually costs nothing out of pocket.
Is Anthem Blue Cross the same as Blue Shield of California?
No — they are separate companies. Anthem Blue Cross is California’s Blue Cross licensee; Blue Shield of California is independent. We accept dental PPO plans from both, so either card works at our office.
How do I find out exactly what my Anthem plan covers?
Call us at (323) 654-1100 with your member ID, or submit our insurance verification form. Our insurance coordinator will contact Anthem directly and give you a clear breakdown of your coverage — usually within one business day.
