Common Questions

MetLife Dental PPO Dentist in Phoenix: Your Questions, Answered

If you're planning to use your MetLife benefits at Diamondback Dentistry, here are the questions our front desk hears most often.

How do I find out what my MetLife plan actually pays?

Share your member ID when you book and we'll pull your plan straight from MetLife, including your Type A, B, and C percentages, your deductible, your annual maximum, and how much you've already used this year. You'll have those numbers in hand before you sit in the chair. Call (602) 866-8183 to get started.

I have a federal or veterans MetLife plan — do you take FEDVIP and VADIP?

Yes. We accept MetLife FEDVIP plans for federal employees and retirees, in both Standard and High options, as well as MetLife VADIP coverage for veterans. The High options generally pay more toward major work and may include orthodontic benefits. Tell us which plan you carry and we'll confirm the exact details before treatment.

Does MetLife cover teeth whitening or other cosmetic work?

Purely cosmetic treatments like whitening and elective veneers usually fall outside MetLife coverage. Procedures that are both cosmetic and restorative, such as a crown on a structurally damaged tooth, may qualify for partial coverage under Type C. We'll show you which parts of your treatment MetLife will and won't pay for before you decide.

Do I need a referral to see you with my MetLife PPO?

No. MetLife PPO plans on the PDP Plus network let you visit any licensed dentist without a referral. You can book directly with Diamondback Dentistry, even if we're not listed as your dentist on file. (MetLife DMO / Managed Care plans work differently — call us and we'll check yours.)

When do my MetLife dental benefits reset?

Most MetLife plans reset on January 1st, though some employer and federal plans run on a different benefit year. Your annual maximum doesn't roll over, so any unused portion is lost when the year ends. We'll help you time treatment so you get the most out of your benefits before they reset.
