The most important part of your first visit is to tell us what you want!  We believe that we are more of a “Coach” that can help you get the health and smile you want rather than a “dictator doctor” who only has their plan for you. Come try us out.

As a new patient, we here at Pomona Dental Practice want you to be comfortable and fully informed. During our first visit together, we will discuss your past medical and dental history. To make a thorough and accurate diagnosis of any dental problems Dr. Shu may request digital X-rays. The comprehensive exam will include looking for decay, an evaluation of existing restorations, oral cancer screening, periodontal (gum) disease, excessive tooth wear, and occlusal (bite) problems.

We will work to build understanding and trust through open communication about your oral condition. Next, we will explain our findings and recommendations to help determine the most appropriate course of treatment. The goal of Pomona Dental Practice is complete and accurate information aiding in your making informed dental decisions.

Something that we take great pride in here at Yvonne Shu’s dental office is our acceptance of a wide variety of insurance options. We understand that the anxiety surrounding visiting the dental office often has to do more with the finances than it is about physical discomfort. Your oral health and well-being matter to us and because of that we accept patients with Medi-Cal.

Medi-Cal Patients Welcome

Many dentists don’t take Medicaid and Medi-Cal patients because it can take a lot of effort. However, at our office, we believe in going the extra mile for our patients and we accept patients with a wide variety of insurances. Our office receives frequent referrals from Medi-Cal. We also provide additional services other than standard dental care such as root canals and other endodontic treatments that can be paid for by Medi-Cal insurance. There aren’t a lot of providers for specialty care that accept Medi-Cal but we are proud to continue to accept patients with this kind of insurance both now and in the future.

Care Credit

No insurance or Medi-cal? We also accept Care Credit. Use it to pay for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by medical insurance, and special financing options are available that you may not be able to get with other cards. Apply here today.

If you’d like to learn more about the kinds of dental insurance that we accept, give our office a call today. We have a well-trained team that is prepared to answer your questions and help ease your worries and stresses. Whatever your dental needs are, we are here to help.
