Short answer
Medicaid: we accept Health First Colorado and DentaQuest at all three offices. Preventive and emergency care are covered; some treatments need prior approval, which we request for you. Dentures are covered for many adults, with limits; implants are not always covered.
Private insurance: we accept most dental plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, MetLife, Guardian and Humana. Call any office to check whether we are in-network with your policy.
Either way, we check your benefits before treatment so you know what is covered, and financing from 3 months to 10 years (subject to approval) can help with the rest.
