How Your Principal Coverage Works Here
Principal dental plans are frequently offered through employer benefits and cover a range of preventive and restorative care. Every plan is different, so before any treatment begins, our team verifies your specific Principal benefits — what’s covered, your deductible, and your expected cost — so there are no surprises.
- We accept Principal PPO dental plans.
- Texas Medicaid is accepted for children only.
We do not accept DMO or HMO dental plans, including Principal DMO/HMO plans. Self-pay pricing and financing are available if your plan isn’t accepted.
How It Works
Getting your benefits verified is simple.
1. Bring Your Insurance Card
Bring your Principal card to your appointment, or call ahead so our team can start the process.
2. We Verify Your Benefits
We’ll confirm exactly what your plan covers — and your expected out-of-pocket cost — before any treatment begins.
3. Receive Your Care
Dr. Patel, Dr. Vu, or Dr. Pruneda provides your treatment with your coverage already confirmed, so there are no surprises.
