Make the Most of Your First Dental Health at Top5Dentists
First Dental Health is a regional dental HMO plan serving members primarily in California. As a dental health maintenance organization (DHMO), First Dental Health offers fixed low copays for most services and no annual maximums, making it a budget-friendly option for individuals and families in California.
Our directory helps First Dental Health members find participating general dentists in California who are enrolled in the First Dental Health network and can provide covered services at your plan's fixed copay schedule.
First Dental Health operates as a pure dental HMO, meaning you pay fixed copays for services rather than percentage-based cost-sharing. This predictability is one of the biggest advantages — you always know your maximum out-of-pocket before sitting in the dental chair. The trade-off is that you must select a primary care dentist from First Dental Health's participating provider list, and all care must be coordinated through that dentist. Seeing a dentist not enrolled in First Dental Health will typically result in no coverage, so confirming participation before any appointment is essential.

What Does First Dental Health Cover?
As a dental HMO, First Dental Health works differently from traditional PPO plans — you pay a fixed copay for covered services instead of a percentage of the dentist's fee:
- Preventive Care: Routine cleanings and oral exams are typically available at very low or zero copay under most First Dental Health schedules.
- Basic Restorative: Fillings and simple extractions are covered at fixed copay amounts with no deductible and no waiting period.
- Major Procedures: Crowns, root canals, dentures, and oral surgery are covered at fixed copay rates that are often significantly lower than PPO cost-sharing.
- Orthodontics: Some First Dental Health plans include orthodontic coverage at a fixed contracted rate for children and adults.
The HMO Advantage with First Dental Health
First Dental Health's HMO model simplifies dental budgeting by replacing unpredictable percentages with fixed copays. Here is what that means for you:
- Predictable Costs: You always know your exact cost before your appointment based on First Dental Health's published copay schedule.
- No Annual Maximum: Unlike PPO plans, First Dental Health HMO plans have no annual maximum — covered services are available all year at the same copay.
- No Claims to File: As an HMO, you simply pay your copay at the time of service — there are no claim forms or reimbursements to track.
