Vaksman Dental Group is an in-network MetLife dentist in South San Francisco. Because we’re in-network, your MetLife dental plan goes further: you get MetLife’s negotiated rates, we bill MetLife directly, and you typically pay less out of pocket. We verify your MetLife benefits before your visit and give you a clear estimate up front.
The MetLife dental plans we see
MetLife runs one of the largest dental PPO networks in the country, and most members have one of these:
MetLife PDP and PDP Plus (PPO): the most common plans; you get the lowest cost when you see an in-network PDP/PDP Plus dentist like us.
MetLife TakeAlong Dental: an individual PPO plan that moves with you between jobs; it uses the same in-network savings.
Not sure which you have? It’s on your MetLife ID card, or we can look it up for you.
What a MetLife dental plan usually covers
Most MetLife PDP plans follow the standard structure (your exact benefits depend on your employer’s plan):
Preventive care (cleanings, exams, X-rays), often covered at or near 100%.
Basic care (fillings, simple extractions): frequently around 70–80%.
Major care (crowns, bridges, dentures): commonly around 50%.
Plans usually include an annual maximum (often $1,000–$2,000); we verify your remaining benefits before treatment.
Friendly MetLife dental care in South San Francisco
As an in-network MetLife provider, we’ve agreed to MetLife’s negotiated fee schedule, which means lower costs for you compared with an out-of-network office. You’ll generally get the highest level of benefits your plan allows, we submit claims to MetLife directly, and you only pay your share at the time of service. Our front-desk team verifies your MetLife coverage ahead of time, confirms your deductible and annual maximum, and explains exactly what to expect before treatment begins.
What MetLife Dental Typically Covers
While every plan is different, most MetLife dental plans follow a familiar structure. Preventive care (routine cleanings, exams, and x-rays) is often covered at the highest percentage, sometimes fully. Basic procedures such as fillings and simple extractions are usually covered at a moderate level, while major treatments like crowns, bridges, and dentures are typically covered at a lower percentage. Many plans include an annual maximum and a yearly deductible. We verify your specific MetLife benefits directly and help you make the most of them.

How to Verify Your MetLife Benefits Before Your Visit
