Pediatric Dentist in Concord, CA That Accepts Principal Dental

Principal® dental insurance is usually offered through employers, and many parents first see it during open enrollment at a new job. If your child is covered by a Principal dental plan, Hopscotch Children’s Dentistry in Concord is ready to help you use it.

In-network accepted

Do You Accept Principal?

Yes. We are in-network with Principal dental plans. Principal’s PPO network is one of the larger dental networks in the country, and several other insurers also use it for their own plans.

Good to know: Principal also sells a Dental Access Plan directly to consumers, and that product is a discount program rather than insurance. If your card mentions the Dental Access Plan, tell us so we can explain your costs correctly.

What Your Child’s Principal Plan Typically Covers

Principal lets employers choose deductibles, coinsurance levels, and annual maximums, so two families with “Principal” cards can have quite different benefits. As a general guide, preventive care such as cleanings and digital X-rays is often covered at or near 100%. Basic care like fillings or silver diamine fluoride is commonly covered around 70–80%, and major care near 50%.

Principal FAQ

Is Hopscotch in-network with Principal?

Yes, we are in-network with Principal dental plans. Call us and we’ll confirm how your child’s specific plan works at our office.

Is the Principal Dental Access Plan insurance?

No. Principal describes its Dental Access Plan as a discount program, not insurance. Let us know if that’s what you have so we can explain your costs.

Why do Principal plans differ so much between employers?

Employers choose their own deductibles, coinsurance, and annual maximums. That’s why we verify each child’s plan individually.

Does Principal cover silver diamine fluoride?

Coverage for SDF varies by plan. We check your child’s benefits before recommending treatment and explain any out-of-pocket cost.

Hopscotch Children’s Dentistry is a dental practice, not an insurance company, and is not affiliated with Principal. Principal is a trademark of its owner and is used here only to identify plans we accept. Coverage depends on your specific plan — please confirm current network status and benefits with us and with your plan before treatment.
