Signature Smiles Is an In-Network Delta Dental Dentist in Milpitas
Signature Smiles Dental Group is a participating in-network provider for both Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier at our Milpitas office. On either plan, you receive the highest available benefit levels, pre-negotiated reduced fees, and no balance billing — your out-of-pocket cost stays as low as your plan allows.
If you carry Delta Dental benefits through your employer, union, or an individual policy and you’re searching for a dentist in Milpitas, Fremont, or San Jose, our practice at 440 E Calaveras Blvd, Milpitas, CA 95035 is ready to welcome you. Because we participate in the Delta Dental PPO and Premier networks, we’ve agreed to Delta Dental’s reduced fee schedule on your behalf.
From your first call, our insurance team owns the process. We contact Delta Dental directly to confirm your exact coverage, provide a written cost estimate before treatment begins, submit every claim electronically, and manage any follow-up. You never have to call your insurer or wrestle with paperwork.
Our practice is led by Dr. Gaganjot Khera, DDS — named America’s Best Dentist in 2024, 2025 and 2026 — delivering comprehensive family, cosmetic, restorative, and emergency care. Our multilingual team speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Spanish, and Tagalog, so every patient is fully informed and at ease.

Why in-network matters for your wallet: Two advantages stack up. First, we’ve agreed to Delta Dental’s pre-negotiated, reduced fee schedule — so your treatment costs less before insurance even applies. Second, Delta Dental pays your benefits at the highest available level for in-network visits. Together, your out-of-pocket cost is far lower than seeing an out-of-network dentist on the same plan.
Typical Delta Dental PPO Coverage at a Glance
Most Delta Dental PPO plans follow a tiered structure. Because we’re in-network, these percentages apply to our reduced fees — so your real dollar savings run higher than the percentages alone suggest. Your exact coverage depends on your employer plan, deductible status, and remaining annual maximum, which we verify before any treatment is scheduled at our Milpitas office.
| Service Category | Typical In-Network Coverage | Common Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Preventive & Diagnostic | 80% – 100% | Exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants |
| Basic Restorative | 70% – 80% | Fillings, simple extractions, palliative visits |
| Major Restorative | 50% | Crowns, bridges, root canals, dentures |
| Periodontal (Gum) Care | 50% – 80% | Scaling & root planing, periodontal maintenance |
| Oral Surgery | 50% | Surgical extractions, wisdom teeth removal |
| Orthodontics If benefit elected — lifetime ortho max applies | 20% – 50% | Invisalign, traditional braces |
| Dental Implants | Varies | Placement, abutment & crown — employer plan determines |
Annual Maximum — Simply Explained
Your annual maximum is the most Delta Dental will pay for covered care in one benefit year — typically $1,000 to $2,000 on employer plans. Once it’s used, you pay out of pocket until the next reset.
Deductible — Simply Explained
Your deductible is what you pay before Delta Dental starts contributing — commonly $25 to $100. Preventive care such as cleanings and exams is usually deductible-exempt, so it’s covered from your very first visit.
Year-end reminder — don’t leave benefits unused. Most Delta Dental plans reset every January 1st, and unused annual maximum and a met deductible do not carry over. Schedule outstanding treatment before December 31st — we offer Saturday appointments. Call (408) 946-0777.
Treatments We Provide for Delta Dental Patients
As an in-network PPO and Premier provider, we apply pre-negotiated reduced fees to every covered service and confirm your specific benefits before scheduling at our Milpitas office. Browse our full list of dental services, or explore common treatments below.
Elective cosmetic care — teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, gum contouring, and smile makeovers — is generally not covered by Delta Dental. For anything outside your benefits, we offer flexible CareCredit and Cherry financing.

About Delta Dental
Delta Dental is the largest dental benefits system in the United States, providing coverage to more than 85 million people across all 50 states. The Delta Dental system traces back to 1954, when dental service organizations were formed in California, Oregon, and Washington; the Delta Dental Plans Association followed in 1966. Its founding idea — agreeing with dentists on pre-negotiated fee schedules — is exactly what makes being in-network with Delta Dental such a meaningful advantage for patients today.
California residents are typically served by Delta Dental of California, one of the most widely held group dental plans in Silicon Valley. It covers employees at many of the region’s largest technology, biotech, healthcare, and government employers — so if you receive dental benefits through an employer in Milpitas, Fremont, San Jose, or the broader South Bay, there’s a strong chance your plan is administered by Delta Dental of California.
You can access your benefits through the Delta Dental of California member portal at deltadentalca.org. For the fastest route, call our Milpitas office — our team will pull up your benefits, confirm your in-network coverage, and walk you through your costs in plain language.
