Aetna at Designing Smiles at Mission Hills
Calm, clear dental care — with your Aetna benefits
If you have Aetna dental insurance, you can use your benefits at our practice. Designing Smiles at Mission Hills works with many Aetna PPO plans, and we regularly help patients and families coordinate their benefits thoughtfully and transparently.
Our goal isn't to rush treatment or maximise insurance — it's to help you make informed decisions about your care, with clarity around coverage before you proceed.
How we work with Aetna
Patients using Aetna choose our practice because we focus on planning, communication, and long-term care, not transactions.
Verify your Aetna benefits before treatment
We check your coverage and eligibility so you know what to expect.
Explain coverage in plain language
No insurance jargon — we break down what your plan covers in terms you understand.
Review estimates with you when applicable
When treatment is needed, we provide clear estimates showing your portion and what insurance covers.
Help you plan care around your benefits and timeline
We work with you to sequence treatment in a way that maximizes your benefits and fits your schedule.
What if my plan has limitations?
Like all dental insurance, Aetna plans vary. Coverage depends on your specific policy, annual maximums, and eligibility.
We don't expect you to navigate that alone.
Our role is to:
- •Clarify what your plan typically supports
- •Explain options if coverage is limited
- •Help you decide what makes sense for you — clinically and financially
A different kind of dental experience
Our Fremont practice is built around:
- •Unhurried appointments
- •Comprehensive, personalised care
- •Clear communication at every step
This approach aligns well with patients who value quality, continuity, and confidence — especially when using PPO insurance.
