  My Experience with Medicare Advantage Dental Coverage. After retiring in January 2025, I enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan that includes dental coverage. The plan covers preventive services such as oral exams, routine cleanings, X-rays, and fluoride treatments, but only in full if performed by in-network dentists. For nearly 20 years prior to retirement, my family and I relied on Frisco Family Dentistry for all of our dental needs. They consistently provided excellent preventive care, twice yearly cleanings, and any necessary treatments to keep our teeth and gums healthy. We trusted their expertise and always maintained good oral care at home. Unfortunately, Frisco Family Dentistry is not part of my Medicare Advantage network, so I searched for in-network alternatives. My first visit was to Dental Arts of Frisco, which had positive reviews. They took 18 X-ray images, and the dentist presented me with a long list of recommended procedures, including deep cleaning at a cost of $800 (with a total treatment plan estimate of $5,000). None of this had ever been suggested at my recent visits with Frisco Family Dentistry. I requested only the standard cleaning covered by my plan. At first, they scheduled me for it, but later informed me that the appointment was a mistake and they would only perform the deep cleaning. I declined and instead went to Comfort Dental Frisco, where I was able to receive the standard cleaning. A similar issue occurred with my wife. We scheduled her at Mapletree Family Dentistry, an in-network provider within walking distance of our home. She transferred her recent X-rays from Frisco Family Dentistry, where she had received a normal cleaning earlier this year. Despite that, the new dentist insisted she needed a deep cleaning costing $800, and refused to provide the preventive cleaning covered by Medicare. Once again, we returned to Frisco Family Dentistry out-of-network, where their evaluation found no signs of periodontitis or need for deep cleaning. She received a regular cleaning there, which we paid for out-of-pocket ($144). From these experiences, I’ve concluded that some in-network providers participate in Medicare Advantage not for the preventive coverage payments, but primarily to attract new patients and then push costly procedures that are not covered. My advice to other Medicare Advantage members: Be cautious when in-network dentists recommend expensive treatments, especially if you have a history of good dental health. Don’t be pressured into unnecessary procedures — sometimes it’s worth paying out-of-pocket at a trusted provider for the care you truly need. I have filed formal complaints with my Medicare Advantage provider regarding these practices, though I am unsure how effective the resolution will be.

  Dr. Bang makes me feel at ease and doesn't oversell me things I don't need.

  I never write reviews unless they are awesome, or absolutely terrible. First let me say that I had previously been a patient at Dossett Dental for the last year, which continued my negative opinion and fear of dentists. I went to see Dr. Bang last week for the first time after having probably the worst pain I have ever had in my life. He ended up removing my wisdom tooth and molar next to it immediately. All the x-rays, evaluation etc was done also and the time frame was less than an hour. I have bad teeth, passed down through the family unfortunately, however I was never talked to in a dictating way like I have been in the past, instead really positive in helping create a plan to restore my smile. Remarkably, I was prescribed the pain killers and antibiotics which I used only one pain pill. I can not say enough good things about my experience. I had a followup yesterday and took my children who are 5,3,1 for routine cleanings. All of them went well also. My 3 year old has always had a fear of pretty much everything and let Dr Bang clean all his teeth, count etc also. Can honestly say going back there and continuing the treatment plan is now something I am not scared of.

  Mapletree Family Dentistry provided excellent care in a professional and friendly manner. Both times, my checkup and cleaning were very thorough with a gentle touch. Dr Bang took the time to answer my questions and address my concerns. He clearly explained my situation and educated me on ongoing personal dental care. I highly recommend Dr Bang as a skilled dentist who provides quality care while keeping his patient at ease.
