At MiraMar Family Dental, we work with most PPO plans as an out-of-network provider. When your plan has out-of-network benefits, we bill your insurance for you, verify your benefits before your visit, and help you understand your benefits and file your claims.
If you don’t have insurance, don’t worry — financing options are available, subject to credit approval.
PPO refers to Preferred Provider Organization. Compared to an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan, this type of plan gives you more flexibility in choosing dentists. In other words, they are plans that offer more provider options and greater flexibility, but at higher costs. Unlike HMOs, you do not need a primary care physician and can see specialists directly.
That flexibility is what lets you choose MiraMar Family Dental as an out-of-network provider: your PPO plan still covers part of your treatment, and we handle the claim for you.
We believe everyone deserves access to quality dental care — even without insurance. That’s why financing options are available, subject to credit approval.

It is often misunderstood that dental coverage should only be activated in critical situations, as opposed to how medical insurance is commonly used, reserved for emergencies or serious injuries. However, it is advisable to use dental insurance frequently, ideally every six months.
This is because its main objective is to cover preventive care, which is essential to maintain long-term oral health and reduce costly treatments.
