Guardian at Designing Smiles at Mission Hills

Calm, clear dental care — with your Guardian benefits

If you have Guardian dental insurance, you can feel confident booking care with us. Designing Smiles at Mission Hills is in-network with Guardian, and we regularly help patients and families use 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 Guardian

Patients using Guardian choose our practice because we focus on planning, communication, and long-term care, not transactions.

1

Verify your Guardian benefits before treatment

We check your coverage and eligibility so you know what to expect.

2

Explain coverage in plain language

No insurance jargon — we break down what your plan covers in terms you understand.

3

Review estimates with you when applicable

When treatment is needed, we provide clear estimates showing your portion and what insurance covers.

4

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, Guardian 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.
