A financing option helps with timing, but it is not a treatment price. We report financing-only practices separately and show where no usable public price was found.

Listings requiring separate review
2 records were not counted as current Bakersfield dental practices.
Bakersfield Urgent Dental Care
The listing resolves to Patient Relief, a third-party referral network that does not identify a specific Bakersfield practice. Generic payment claims are not practice pricing evidence. Evidence ↗
Oral Surgeon Beverly Hills
The profile has an inconsistent practice identity, an incomplete address, and a legacy domain that now resolves to the separate Precision Oral Surgeon listing; it cannot be verified as a distinct current practice. Evidence ↗
Official California fee schedule
Medi-Cal dental maximum allowances
These are statewide CDT-26 program amounts effective September 1, 2026—not Bakersfield retail prices or guaranteed patient benefits. Coverage rules, authorization, and patient responsibility are separate.
ProcedureMaximum allowanceCDT code
Comprehensive dental exam
For a new or established patient. Imaging is separate.
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.

• 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 142 Bakersfield 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.
We checked all 142 profile pages in the Bakersfield directory. 48 practices publish at least one fee, discount, membership plan, sliding-fee policy, or free consultation. 32 publish financing information without a public treatment price, and 60 publish no usable price information. We excluded 2 profile pages that did not represent a current Bakersfield dental practice.
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.
