Here’s what you’ll find in this guide:
Whether you live in Rialto or a neighboring community like San Bernardino, Fontana, or Colton, keep reading to learn how to make the most of your dental coverage.
Quick answer: West Coast Dental of Rialto (1315 W. Renaissance Parkway, Suite 870, Rialto, CA 92376 · 909-434-1000) accepts Medi-Cal Dental (Denti-Cal) for eligible patients of every age. Covered services include exams, cleanings, fillings, extractions, dentures, and more—often at little to no cost for qualifying individuals and families.
Cost should never stand between you and a healthy mouth. Our team welcomes patients from across the Inland Empire, treating everyone from toddlers getting their first checkup to seniors who need new dentures. And with evening and Saturday appointments, fitting a visit into your schedule is simple.
If you or someone in your household has Medi-Cal, this article walks you through your benefits and how our Rialto practice helps you use them.
Medi-Cal Dental—most people call it Denti-Cal—is California’s dental program for people enrolled in Medi-Cal. The state’s Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) runs it, offering free or low-cost dental care to eligible residents, including children, adults, seniors, and people living with disabilities.
A major change arrived on May 1, 2022. California expanded full-scope Medi-Cal benefits—dental coverage included—to adults 50 and older, regardless of immigration status. That shift opened the door for thousands of people across Rialto, San Bernardino, Fontana, and surrounding cities who previously had few affordable options.
Denti-Cal covers a solid range of treatments. Here’s what eligible patients can generally count on.
Routine checkups and diagnostic X-rays give your dentist a clear picture of your oral health. That information shapes a treatment plan that fits your needs.
Prevention comes first. Professional cleanings clear away plaque and tartar, while fluoride treatments strengthen enamel—especially helpful for growing kids.
Caught a cavity? A covered filling stops decay before it turns into a bigger, costlier problem down the road.
When infection reaches the pulp inside a front tooth, a root canal can save it. Medi-Cal Dental covers root canals on anterior (front) teeth for eligible patients.
When a tooth is badly damaged or weakened, a crown protects it. Denti-Cal covers crowns when they’re considered medically necessary.
Lost one tooth or several? Full and partial dentures restore both your bite and your confidence, and they’re covered for qualifying patients.
Sometimes a tooth simply can’t be saved. Extractions are covered, and so are certain oral surgery procedures.
Pain and infection don’t keep business hours. Denti-Cal covers emergency dental services to handle sudden pain, swelling, or injury.
Braces are covered for kids when a dentist determines treatment is medically necessary based on specific clinical criteria.
If you’re a California resident enrolled in Medi-Cal, you likely qualify for Denti-Cal. That generally includes:
Eligibility usually depends on income, household size, age, and residency. Not sure where you stand? Our Rialto team is happy to point you in the right direction.
