No surprise bills
Insurance and costs, in plain words
We take most PPO dental plans, Health First Colorado and CHP+. No insurance? Join Kite Club or pay our published prices. Either way, you see the cost before we start.
Three ways families pay
-
PPO dental plans
We're in network with most PPO dental plans from employers and the marketplace. Checkups and cleanings are often covered in full.
-
Health First Colorado and CHP+
We welcome kids covered by Colorado's Medicaid dental plan and CHP+. Same team, same times, same care.
-
No insurance
Join Kite Club for a flat monthly fee, or pay our published self-pay prices. You always see the cost first.
Not sure if we're in network with your plan? Call or text us the name on the card and we'll check, usually the same day.
How we check before you come
-
You book and share the card
Add your plan in the booking form, or text a photo of the card. Member ID can wait.
-
We check benefits
Alicia confirms what your plan covers for your child, including any waiting periods or frequency limits.
-
We call if anything costs more
Checkups are usually covered. If something won't be, you hear from us before the visit, not after.
-
Written estimate for treatment
Fillings, crowns or sedation come with a written estimate of your share. Nothing starts until you agree.

Cost questions
Which insurance do you take?
Most PPO dental plans, plus Health First Colorado and CHP+. We check your child's benefits before every visit and call you if anything will cost more than expected.
What if we don't have insurance?
Kite Club is our in-office membership: $32 a month per child covers two checkups, cleanings, fluoride, x-rays when needed and 15% off treatment. Or pay our published self-pay prices.
Will I know the cost before treatment?
Always. Any treatment comes with a written estimate showing what insurance should pay and your share. Nothing starts until you agree.
