FAQs

Do you accept MetLife PPO?
Yes—most MetLife PPO / PDP plans are accepted. We’ll confirm your network level and benefits beforehand.

Do I need pre-authorization?
For major restorative treatment (crowns, bridges, implants, etc.), many MetLife plans require pre-authorization. We handle that for you.

Can I get a cost estimate first?
Definitely. Once we verify your benefits, we will provide a written estimate and explain what your share of payment will be.
