Rio Hondo Dental Group

The honest answer: it depends on the office, so call the one you plan to visit and ask about your specific plan. Insurance participation differs across the four practices, and we don't publish a group-wide carrier list because one doesn't exist.

What each office publishes about its own approach:

• Rio Hondo Dental Group accepts most PPO and HMO plans and is the group's office for Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal patients.
• Marina Dentistry publishes the group's most detailed insurance policy on its own site.
• Beachside Dental Group and Pacifica Dental both ask you to call so the team can check your coverage directly.

Phone numbers for every office are on the contact page. If you have no insurance at all, see the next question — you have options.

You can still be a patient at any of the four offices. No office in the group requires insurance, and two routes keep care affordable without it.

• Membership plans — a flat yearly fee, paid to your office, that covers exams and cleanings and discounts other treatment. See membership.
• Financing — third-party lenders that spread treatment cost over monthly payments, subject to credit approval. See financing.

If cost is the thing keeping you from booking, say so when you call — the front desk deals with this question every day. Or start with a appointment request and bring it up at your visit.

Call the office before your first visit and ask — the front desk gives current, accurate arrival directions for its own building. We don't publish parking or transit details here that we haven't verified office by office.

Each location page has the office's address, phone number, and a map link so you can plan the trip your own way.

Start with geography. The four offices sit in three different parts of Southern California, and for most patients the nearest one is the right one.

• Beachside Dental Group and Pacifica Dental both serve Huntington Beach and coastal Orange County — they share one building at 18800 Main St, each in its own suite.
• Marina Dentistry serves Marina del Rey and the Westside of Los Angeles — Venice, Playa Vista, Santa Monica, Culver City.
• Rio Hondo Dental Group serves Downey and southeast LA County — Pico Rivera, Bellflower, Norwalk, South Gate, and is the group's office for Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal patients.

Two useful tie-breakers: the treatment menus differ by office (each location page lists what that office offers), and Rio Hondo is the group's office for Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal patients. If you're still unsure, call whichever office is closest — the front desk will tell you plainly whether another office is a better fit.
