Medi-Cal Dental for working adults
Your annual checkup, after work, in Temecula
For adults 21 and older, Medi-Cal Dental covers a checkup every 12 months, according to the state's 2025 member handbook. Once a year is easy to let slip, particularly when appointments mean time off work. Anthem Dental - Temecula is open Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 7 PM, so that yearly visit can happen after a shift. The office is off Overland Drive at 29049 Overland Dr, Suite C, Temecula.
What the dentist checks at an adult visit
- Digital X-rays to find decay between teeth and below old fillings that cannot be seen by eye.
- Gum measurements, since gum disease often does not hurt until it is advanced.
- An oral cancer screening, built into every exam.
- Old fillings and crowns, looking for cracks or leaks before they become emergencies.
Knowing what's covered before you commit
Medi-Cal Dental covers a defined list of services, and your dental provider is the one who tells you which of your treatment is covered and which is not — that is how the handbook describes it. At this office, that conversation happens before any work begins, with a written estimate for anything that is not a covered benefit. We explain the plan before we start.
When treatment needs more than one visit
Larger work — a crown, a root canal, gum treatment — is often split across appointments. With evening times available, each step can be booked after work, and the front desk can line the visits up in advance so you are not calling to reschedule each time. If an appointment has to move, the state handbook asks Medi-Cal members to call at least a day ahead.
If you have Medicare too
The handbook explains that Medicare does not cover most dental care, and that Medi-Cal covers many dental services Medicare does not. If you have both, bring both cards and our front desk will sort out which applies first.
Patients come to this office from Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar and French Valley. Treatment is with Dr. Henry Abraham, whatever your insurance.
At the southern end of the county
Who can use this office, and how to reach it
A statewide program
Medi-Cal Dental is run by the State of California, and members may use any dentist who takes it. So a family from Fallbrook — across the line in San Diego County — can use its Medi-Cal dental benefits here just as a Temecula family can.
Rides are different
IEHP's transportation benefit only covers trips inside Riverside and San Bernardino counties, so it helps IEHP members who live on this side of the county line; the details are on our IEHP page for Temecula.
Finding the office
It is off Overland Drive at 29049 Overland Dr, Suite C, Temecula. Temecula has three full interchanges on I-15, and Winchester Road leaves the freeway in the north of the city as State Route 79 — the road in from Winchester.
When it can't wait for a checkup
A broken tooth or a toothache does not have to wait for a routine slot. Medi-Cal Dental patients ring the same number and are fitted in the same way as everyone else, and the late close gives the front desk more room to do it that day — see emergency dentistry in Temecula.
Children's visits after school
Children and teens on Medi-Cal Dental are due checkups more often than adults, and an after-school time is the easiest way to keep up. Dr. Henry Abraham sees children as a general and family dentist — see children's dentistry in Temecula.
