A dental office that makes your Ameritas coverage simple
If you carry Ameritas dental insurance through your employer, an association, or an individual plan and you are searching for a dentist in Milpitas, Signature Smiles Dental Group welcomes you. Our office at 440 E Calaveras Blvd cares for Ameritas members from across the South Bay — Fremont, San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Newark — and we make the insurance side of every visit clear and stress-free from your very first call.
Ameritas is one of the nation’s most established dental benefits providers, known for flexible plans that let members keep their choice of dentist. Because we are an in-network Ameritas PPO provider, our team contacts Ameritas directly to confirm your specific plan, prepares a written cost estimate before any treatment begins, and submits your claims electronically after every appointment.
Led by Dr. Gaganjot Khera, DDS — named America’s Best Dentist in 2024, 2025, and 2026 — the 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 patient leaves fully informed and at ease.
What Ameritas dental insurance typically covers
Every Ameritas 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 Ameritas, and many plans include a waiting period for major work. We verify your exact plan benefits before any treatment, and financing options are available for anything your plan doesn’t cover.
Ameritas PPO Network vs. fee-for-service
Ameritas is built around freedom of choice, so most members can visit our Milpitas office regardless of plan type. Knowing which structure you carry simply tells us how your benefits apply — and our team can confirm it in seconds when you call.

What does Ameritas dental insurance cover?

Every plan differs, so we verify your exact percentages, deductible, and annual maximum before treatment.
Do I need a referral to see an Ameritas dentist in Milpitas?
No. Ameritas PPO plans do not require a referral. You can schedule directly with our Milpitas office, and you do not need a referral to see a specialist under a standard PPO plan.
Will you verify my Ameritas benefits before my appointment?
