    Hello all, 

    We are really struggling to find any dentist for our kids that actually takes Aetna, which is our health insurance covered by my husband's work. At this point, we're willing to go anywhere in the East Bay - but prefer Oakland or Berkeley. Any tips or advice?

    All posts on this question were several years old, and recommended folks on those replies no longer show up in the Aetna listings. Any tips welcome!

    Thanks

    I have Aetna insurance and just recently went to Redwood Pediatric, it was fully covered.

    Try Redwood pediatric dentistry. I called around and searched for months to try and find an in network dentist. They take insurance and are truly amazing with kids.

    We go to Cortese Dental in Albany and have Aetna. They are a small family practice and we've had only great experiences there!

    Dr. Koida in North Oakland. She and the whole team are fantastic. I especially appreciate their honesty and customer-centered service approach.

    Any recommendations for family or pediatric dentists that accept this plan? Looking for offices in Berkeley but will go Oakland, Albany, or El Cerrito to find a reliable, professional office. At this point I'll go to SF! Is Western Dental as bad as Yelp reviews seem to suggest? Anyone use Gentle Dental in El Cerrito? Help me BPN!

    We have this insurance, too. It kinda sucks, Delta Dental is the best. We have been going to Aloha Pediatric Dentists for over 10 years with both kids. I really love them, and they will help you out as much as possible. Basically, with this insurance you have to pay up front no matter what dentist that you got to, and then submit the bill for reimbursement. It sucks, but Aloha has submitted as much as they can for us, and it has really helped. I also like their team of Dentists, we have seen quite a few. I guess that would be my only negative comment, that it is difficult, but not impossible, to see the same dentist every single time you go. But the upside is that it makes it easier to schedule appointments earlier than at a private practice with only one dentist. I love too that their new office is downstairs from Berkeley Orthodontics, as we now have two sons undergoing retainers and braces. The Dr.s from both offices work together and share x-rays and expertise. The one time that my older son had a terrible trampoline accident and semi-knocked out 2 front teeth and cut his upper gums on an Easter Sunday evening when both offices were closed, a Dr. from each office came in at 10 pm at night to work on saving both the teeth and orthodonture work. Wow. That would not have happened at a sole practitioner's office. They also have several offices to choose from, but we really like the one at 2640 Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley. Convenience is important to me also as my kids either have to miss school or come right from school to get to the appointments. I would say that you should check out the reviews of any office before you decide, just so you know. Here is their phone: 510-848-6494. Best to you
