    Compare the full bill

    Cash price and insured cost are different

    A dental plan may reduce the allowed fee, pay only part of a service, or exclude it. Deductibles, waiting periods, annual maximums, and network status can all change what you owe.

    Ask for these details in writing

    • • Procedure names and dental billing codes
    • • Every exam, image, lab fee, and follow-up included
    • • The office fee and any cash discount
    • • Estimated insurance payment and your expected balance
    • • Financing terms, including interest and total repayment

    Methodology

    Where the fee information comes from

    The allowance amounts come directly from the California Department of Health Care Services CDT-26 Schedule of Maximum Allowances, effective September 1, 2026. “By report” means the schedule does not state a fixed maximum for that procedure code.

    The schedule is not a retail price list. Coverage criteria, authorization, supplemental payments, and individual benefits can affect payment. Practice offers are quoted or closely summarized from the linked practice pages and kept separate from Medi-Cal amounts.

    On Sep 16, 2026, we reconciled all 6 Atwater directory profile pages against first-party websites and available identity sources. We classify an office by the strongest public evidence found: a fee or savings program, financing only, no public price, or an excluded profile that did not represent a current local dental practice. A free consultation counts as a published savings program, not as a treatment price.

    Dental cost questions

    What to know before comparing prices

    How many Atwater dentists publish prices?
    We checked all 6 profile pages in the Atwater directory. 1 practices publish at least one fee, discount, membership plan, sliding-fee policy, or free consultation. 0 publish financing information without a public treatment price, and 5 publish no usable price information.
    What is the Medi-Cal allowance for a dental exam?
    California's CDT-26 schedule lists $25 for a comprehensive oral evaluation under D0150 and $40 for a full-mouth X-ray series under D0210. These are program allowances, not retail prices or guaranteed patient benefits.
    What does Medi-Cal allow for a root canal and crown?
    The September 2026 schedule lists $216 for an anterior root canal, $261 for a premolar, and $331 for a molar. A porcelain or ceramic crown is listed at $340. Coverage criteria and authorization requirements may apply, and the final restoration is separate from the root canal.
    Are Medi-Cal maximum allowances the same as cash prices?
    No. A Medi-Cal maximum allowance is an official program payment amount for a defined CDT code. It is not the retail fee a dental office charges an uninsured patient, and it does not establish what every enrolled patient will owe.
    How should I compare dental estimates?
    Ask each office for a written treatment plan with procedure codes, every included service, the office fee, the insurance estimate, and your expected balance. For implants, confirm whether the scan, extraction, graft, implant, abutment, and crown are included.
