Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients benefit from routine dental cleanings and check-ups every six months. Regular visits help remove tartar buildup, detect early cavities, and keep gums healthy. However, based on Dr. Mohan’s recommendation, patients with periodontal issues or a higher risk of decay may need more frequent visits.

Yes, our office works with most major PPO dental insurance plans. We also accept Medi-cal. We handle the paperwork for you, verify your benefits, and explain your coverage before starting treatment. Even if we are out of network, our team will help you file your claim and maximize any available benefits.

Patients without insurance can still receive reasonably priced, quality dental care at I-Rise Dental. We offer an in-house membership plan that offers significant value for the price you pay and makes sure that you have significant savings (similar to dental insurance) for most procedures. Also unlike dental insurance your benefits are limited by any hidden clauses or pre-existing conditions. We also offer flexible financing options through trusted third-party lenders like carecredit, proceed finance, sunbit etc. Our team will also review any ongoing in-office promotions or membership discounts to maximize the benefit you receive from our office.

For uninsured patients, the cost of a routine cleaning and exam at I Rise Dental typically ranges from $75 to $125, depending on your needs and whether X-rays are required. Before any treatment begins, you will receive a detailed estimate and transparent explanation of fees so there are no surprises. Also by enrolling in our membership plans there will be significant savings that can be accessed by you.

Yes. Many patients feel nervous about visiting the dentist, so we offer safe and comfortable sedation options, including nitrous and oral conscious medication options. Sedation can help you stay calm and relaxed during your procedure, allowing Dr. Mohan to complete treatment efficiently while maximizing your comfort. If full (IV) sedation is needed that can also be arranged with an anesthesiologist that comes to our office on-demand.

We provide comprehensive care, including preventive dentistry, cosmetic treatments, restorative procedures, implant dentistry, LASER-Regeneration dentistry, and family dental services.

Routine dental visits help prevent tooth loss, cavities, and gum disease while maintaining fresh breath and a confident smile. They also allow Dr. Mohan to detect early signs of oral health problems before they become serious or expensive to treat. The oral-body connection is now well proven in the scientific community; so by keeping your mouth healthy you are not only keeping your oral cavity healthy but also significantly reducing the risk of developing systemic health issues in the future.
