Everyone was incredibly kind and accommodating. It had been a while since I'd been to the dentist, but they never made me feel judged.

What If You Don't Have Dental Insurance?

  • You don't need dental insurance to be seen here.
  • No insurance? New patients can get a $19 exam and X-rays, which covers the exam and X-rays only. It can't be combined with insurance.
  • We accept CareCredit, a healthcare credit card for paying over time, subject to approval. You can prequalify with no credit impact.
  • We also accept dental savings plans, such as Careington. A savings plan isn't insurance: you pay to join and get lower prices at offices that accept it.
FAQ

Questions About Your Insurance

Can I see any dentist with a PPO plan?

Most PPO plans let you choose your own dentist, so you can use yours at Diamondback Dentistry in North Phoenix without switching plans. How much your plan pays for each visit still depends on the plan itself and on how much of this year's benefits you've already used.

Do you accept every plan from the insurance companies you list?

For each insurance company in our list, we accept its PPO plans at every plan level, whether you have a basic plan or a higher one. The one exception is Delta Dental: we accept Delta Dental PPO plans, but not DeltaCare USA, which is a DHMO plan.

What if my plan isn't listed?

Call us anyway at (602) 866-8183. We file claims with out-of-network plans too. With an out-of-network plan, you pay at your visit and we send the claim to your insurance company. What they cover depends on your plan.

Are PPO plans good for dental?

A PPO plan is often a good fit if you want to choose your own dentist, since HMO and DHMO plans usually limit you to a set list of offices. Whether one is right for you also depends on what it costs and what it covers. Comparing plans? Our guide to choosing a dental insurance plan walks you through it.

How much does a dental PPO cost?

It depends on the plan and on whether you get it through your job or buy it on your own. Most PPO plans have a monthly premium, a deductible you pay first and a share of the bill you pay after that. Your plan documents or your employer's benefits team can give you the exact numbers.
