No Insurance Dentist in Encino, CA

If you are currently without dental insurance, the most important step is to avoid delaying your care. Dental issues, such as decay or gum disease, are progressive; a small, affordable fix today can become a complex, expensive procedure if left untreated for months or years. At Encino Advanced Dentistry, we welcome “self-pay” patients and offer a streamlined process to help you manage your oral health.

Many of our patients find that “pay-as-you-go” dentistry is actually more cost-effective than paying high monthly insurance premiums, especially if they primarily require preventative care and occasional restorative work. We provide comprehensive new patient specials that often include an exam, digital X-rays, and a cleaning for a flat, transparent fee. This allows you to establish a baseline for your oral health without the need for a third-party payer. Furthermore, because we aren’t restricted by insurance “waiting periods,” you can start your journey toward a better smile immediately.

Absolutely. We understand that even without insurance, a large treatment plan can be a significant investment. To make these costs manageable, we partner with reputable third-party financing companies like CareCredit and LendingClub. These platforms act like a dedicated health credit card, allowing you to break down the total cost of your treatment into affordable monthly installments. Many of these plans offer “no-interest” periods (typically 6, 12, or 18 months), meaning if you pay the balance within that window, you pay no interest at all.

In addition to external financing, our administrative team is often able to work with patients on phased treatment plans. For complex cases, Dr. Moshaverinia can prioritize the most critical work first, allowing you to pay for and receive treatment in smaller, more digestible stages over time. This flexibility ensures that your clinical needs are met without placing an undue burden on your monthly budget.

One of the most common challenges in modern dentistry is the “cosmetic gap”—the difference between what insurance considers “medically necessary” and the high-end aesthetic results a patient desires. Even patients with excellent insurance often find that elective treatments like porcelain veneers, full-mouth reconstructions, or advanced teeth whitening are excluded from their policy.

At Encino Advanced Dentistry, we apply our flexible financing solutions to these “gap” costs as well. You can use CareCredit or other payment plans to cover the remaining balance after insurance has paid its portion, or to fund the cosmetic upgrade entirely. This is particularly beneficial for patients undergoing “functional aesthetic” transformations where insurance might pay for a standard crown, but the patient chooses a high-translucency, laboratory-crafted ceramic for a more natural look. We believe you shouldn’t have to settle for less than your ideal smile just because of a policy limitation.

Financial anxiety often stems from the fear of the unknown. To combat this, Dr. Moshaverinia and our financial coordinators have implemented a strict transparency protocol. Before any treatment—from a simple filling to a complex implant—you will receive a written, itemized treatment plan. This document clearly outlines the cost of each procedure, any estimated laboratory fees, and a final total.

During your consultation, we walk you through this plan line-by-line. We explain the “why” behind every recommendation, ensuring you understand the value of the materials and the expertise involved. There are no hidden “facility fees” or surprise add-ons. If your clinical situation changes during a procedure (as can sometimes happen with hidden decay), we pause to discuss the findings and the associated costs before moving forward. This commitment to honesty fosters a relationship of trust, allowing you to focus on your recovery and your results rather than your bill.

When seeking a smile transformation, the credentials and philosophy of your provider are paramount. Dr. Alireza Moshaverinia, DDS, MS, Ph.D, FACP, brings an unparalleled level of academic and clinical expertise to Encino Advanced Dentistry. As a board-certified prosthodontist and a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists, he specializes in the complex restoration and replacement of teeth. His dual background in clinical practice and biomaterials research allows him to select the most durable and lifelike materials for your veneers, crowns, and implants.
