Every Hero Deserves an Invincible Smile Medicaid, CHIP & PPO Dental Insurance  in Pasadena ,Tx

The Adventure Smiles Alliance: High-Tech Care for Everyone

Some offices treat Medicaid patients differently—at Adventure Smiles, we do the opposite. We believe that Medicaid dental care should be just as high-tech and high-touch as any private plan.

Whether you are here for a routine check-up or a complex restoration, you will receive care in our state-of-the-art "Headquarters" from Dr. Naderi. We use the same digital X-rays, premium materials, and superhero murals for every member of our Alliance.

  • Pasadena’s Best Kids Dentist: We make Medicaid visits fun with arcade games and "Hero Rewards."
  • Honest & Compassionate: Dr. Naderi treats every patient like his own family sidekick.
  • Modern Technology: Digital diagnostics to catch "Sugar Villains" early.

Texas Medicaid & Chip Breakdown

Understanding Your Dental Defense Plan

exas Medicaid and CHIP provide essential "Armor" for your family’s oral health. Here is a quick briefing on what is usually covered at our office:


For Heroes Under 21 (Medicaid & CHIP)

Most preventive and essential services are covered at 100% with no out-of-pocket cost, including:

  • Bi-Annual Missions: Two professional teeth cleanings and exams per year.
  • Super Vision: Digital X-rays to check for hidden decay.
  • Invisible Shields: Dental sealants and fluoride "Power-Ups."
  • Restorative Heroics: Fillings, crowns, and extractions to repair damage.

For Adult Heroes (Medicaid)

Texas Medicaid for adults is often limited to Emergency Dental Care. If you are in pain or have an infection, we can use your Medicaid benefits to help with:

  • Emergency exams and X-rays.
  • Emergency extractions to stop the spread of "decay villains."
  • For non-emergency care, ask about our low-cost dental care options!

Insurance FAQ

Common Questions About Dental Coverage


  • Is Adventure Smiles a "Preferred Provider"?

    Yes! We are a PPO dentist in Pasadena and a primary provider for Texas Medicaid. We work with the vast majority of plans to keep your costs at zero or very low.

  • Does Medicaid cover braces (Orthodontics)?

    Medicaid covers Pasadena orthodontics only when there is a severe medical necessity (like a cleft palate or major skeletal issue). We offer free orthodontic evaluations to see if your child qualifies under state guidelines.

  • What if I lose my coverage?

    Don't panic! We offer affordable dentist rates for cash-pay patients and accept CareCredit to help you stay on track with your dental health until your benefits are restored.

  • How do I know what my insurance will pay for?

    Every "Secret Identity" (insurance plan) is different. Our team performs a complimentary benefits check before your treatment begins so there are never any surprise bills.

  • Do you offer financing for larger procedures like Implants or Orthodontics?

    Absolutely. We offer flexible financing options, including CareCredit, to help break down the cost of your "Smile Upgrade" into manageable monthly payments.

  • Do you accept all Texas Medicaid plans?

    Yes! We work with the major Texas Medicaid dental providers listed above. If you aren't sure which plan you have, our front-desk "Sidekicks" can help you verify your coverage instantly.

  • What is the difference between Medicaid and CHIP?

     CHIP is designed for families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but still need assistance with affordable health and dental coverage for their children. Both provide excellent dental benefits!

  • Up to what age does CHIP cover my child’s dental visits?

    CHIP typically covers dental care for children and teenagers up to age 19.
