Quick answer

In most cases, yes — we work with all insurance companies and bill your plan for you. This page answers the questions families ask us most, including Delta Dental and Aetna PPO, and how to get the most from your benefits.

One of the most common questions we get asked is:

“Do you take my insurance?”

The short answer is YES!
We have experience working with all insurance companies and are here to help you make the most of your benefits.

We’ve created this sheet to help our Aloha families navigate their insurance plans and receive optimal benefits and service.

At Aloha, we offer the following services for our patients:

  1. Assist in maximizing your insurance benefits by filing your claim directly with your carrier.

  2. Assign benefits payable directly to you, resulting in faster reimbursement.

  3. Provide a complimentary benefits check before your appointment.

Will you bill my insurance?

Yes!
Even though we require payment at the time of service, we will:

  • File your claim electronically

  • Assign benefits directly to you
    This often leads to faster and smoother reimbursement.

Do you accept Delta Dental, Aetna PPO, MetLife, United Healthcare, or others?

Yes — we have many families in our practice with these plans!

While Aloha is considered “out of network” for all dental plans, we are happy to help you determine what will be reimbursed under your specific plan.

Let us assist you in getting an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost before your appointment.

A few helpful notes:

  • We require payment at the end of your dental appointment.

  • We’ll submit your claim electronically for quick and direct reimbursement.

  • Our patients tell us this process is simple and fast when handled through us!

Why choose Aloha?

Many patients choose our practice because of the exceptional quality of care we provide.
They find that they can still use their insurance benefits while receiving the personalized, high-quality service they value at Aloha.

This guide breaks down exactly what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to make the best decision for your child’s long-term dental health. If your child has never been to the dentist before, you may also want to review what to expect at your child’s first dental visit.
