A dental office that makes your Aetna coverage simple
If you carry Aetna dental insurance through your employer, union, or an individual plan and you’re looking for a dentist in Milpitas, Signature Smiles Dental Group welcomes you. Our office at 440 E Calaveras Blvd accepts Aetna dental patients from across the South Bay — Fremont, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Newark — and we’re committed to making the insurance side of your visit clear and stress-free from your very first call.
Aetna is one of the largest health and dental insurers in the country, and its dental benefits are widely offered through employer group plans at Bay Area technology, healthcare, and government organizations. That makes Aetna one of the more commonly held plans among our neighbors. As an in-network Aetna PPO provider, our team contacts Aetna directly to confirm your specific plan, prepares a written cost estimate before any treatment begins, and submits your claims electronically after every visit.
Led by Dr. Gaganjot Khera, DDS — named America’s Best Dentist in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — our practice delivers comprehensive family, cosmetic, restorative, and emergency dental care under one roof. Our multilingual team speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Spanish, and Tagalog, so every Aetna patient is fully informed and at ease.
What Aetna dental insurance typically covers
Every Aetna plan is a little different, but most PPO plans follow this general structure. We confirm your exact percentages, deductible, and annual maximum before treatment begins.
Cleanings & exams
Routine cleanings, dental exams, and X-rays are usually covered at 80–100% — often with no deductible — when you stay in network.
Fillings & extractions
Basic restorative work such as fillings and tooth extractions is commonly covered around 70–80% after your deductible.
Crowns & more
Major services like crowns, bridges, root canals, and dentures are typically covered near 50%.
Percentages are general guidance only — cosmetic and elective procedures are usually not covered by Aetna. We verify your exact plan benefits before any treatment. Financing options are available for anything your plan doesn’t cover.
Aetna PPO vs. Aetna DMO
Aetna offers two main dental plan structures in California. Knowing which one you carry determines how your benefits apply at our Milpitas office — and our team can confirm it in seconds when you call.
Aetna PPO
A PPO plan lets you visit any licensed dentist and still receive benefits — with lower out-of-pocket costs when you choose an in-network provider like Signature Smiles.
- Freedom to choose your dentist
- Lowest cost when you stay in network
- No referral needed for specialists
- We are in-network for Aetna PPO
Aetna DMO
A DMO (Dental Maintenance Organization) plan asks you to select a primary care dentist from Aetna’s DMO network and receive your care within that network. Call us and we’ll help you confirm exactly how your plan applies here.
- Choose a primary care dentist
- Care coordinated within the network
- Often lower monthly premiums
- Call us to confirm your plan type

What does Aetna PPO dental insurance typically cover?
Most Aetna PPO plans cover cleanings, exams, and X-rays at 80–100% — often with no deductible. Basic services such as fillings and extractions are usually covered around 70–80%, and major services including crowns, bridges, root canals, and dentures are typically covered near 50%. We verify your exact percentages before any treatment begins.
What is the difference between an Aetna PPO and an Aetna DMO plan?
An Aetna PPO plan gives you the freedom to visit any licensed dentist and still use your benefits, with the lowest cost when you stay in network. An Aetna DMO plan asks you to select a primary care dentist from Aetna’s DMO network and receive care within that network. Call us and we’ll help you confirm which plan you carry.
Do you verify my Aetna benefits before my appointment?
Yes, and it’s free. Before your visit, our team contacts Aetna directly to confirm your plan, deductible, and annual maximum. You then receive a clear written estimate of your covered portion before any treatment starts — so there are no surprises.
What information do I need to use my Aetna dental coverage?
Please have your Aetna dental ID card ready. We’ll need your Member ID, group number, and the date of birth for the subscriber and any dependents. No card on hand? We can often locate your coverage using your full name, employer name, and date of birth.
What is my Aetna annual maximum, and does it roll over?
Most Aetna dental plans include an annual maximum — commonly between $1,000 and $2,000 — which is the most the plan pays toward your care each calendar year. Any unused benefits usually do not roll over, so scheduling treatment before year-end helps you make the most of your coverage. We’ll tell you exactly where your maximum stands.
Can I use my Aetna plan if I’m a new patient?
Absolutely. We welcome new Aetna patients of every age, from across Milpitas, Fremont, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Newark. Book online or call (408) 946-0777 and we’ll verify your benefits and get your first visit scheduled — evening and Saturday appointments are available.
What if my Aetna plan doesn’t cover a treatment I need?
Cosmetic and elective procedures often fall outside Aetna coverage, and major work may exceed your annual maximum. When that happens we walk you through your options, including interest-free Cherry and CareCredit financing on our payment plans page, so you can move forward comfortably.
