Insurance & Payment Policies:
Monterey Peninsula Dental Group accepts most insurance policies. We do not accept Denti-Cal or Medi-Cal.
Please note that full payment is due at the time of treatment. We accept cash, personal checks, and credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card and American Express.
We will gladly bill your dental insurance plan for you. However, you are ultimately responsible for the entire cost of your treatment. If, for any reason, your insurance plan does not pay part or all of your care, or is slow to pay for services, you are responsible for the remaining balance. We try to estimate the amount that your insurance plan will pay. However, it is important to understand that it is only an estimate and is subject to change. Patients must pay the portion of the fees that are not covered by insurance at the time of treatment.
In special cases, a three month payment plan may be set up with your credit card. Ask us about other payment options.
An adult accompanying a minor child for treatment is responsible for full payment of any fees incurred.
Cancellation Policies:
Failure to cancel an appointment with at least two business days’ notice may result in a missed appointment charge.
Credit Options for Cash Pay Patients:
Our practice seeks to make our care affordable for everyone, including patients without dental insurance. We’re a preferred provider for Compassionate Finance, who offers custom payment plans to help spread out the cost of care.

It's so nice to be back in Carmel Valley after a five year absence and back to MPDG and the excellent care of Dr. Falkel. It is always a professional, caring experience.

I have tried several dentists over years , but, none would compare to team of Ryan Lehr's (D.D.S) office. I would highly recommend you trying them out, you will come away from your visit with a feeling of having found the "Right Team"!

I continue to receive excellent dental care and support from the dental group I have used for the past 36 years. I have had 2 dentists retire, and I now live an hour drive away, but I keep coming back for the superb dental care and advice.
