MetLife PPO
Is Van Nuys Panorama Dental Center in-network with MetLife?
Yes. Van Nuys Panorama Dental Center, at 8227 Van Nuys Blvd in Panorama City, CA, is an in-network dentist for MetLife PPO dental plans. That means you pay MetLife's agreed in-network fees, and our team verifies your coverage before your visit.
MetLife offers dental insurance through many employers and also to individuals. Its PPO plans use the MetLife Preferred Dentist Program (PDP), a network of dentists who agree to set fees for MetLife members. Like most PPO plans, MetLife plans also pay benefits when you see a dentist outside that network.
Seeing an in-network dentist usually means lower out-of-pocket costs than going out of network, because MetLife and our office have agreed on fees in advance. Your exact share still depends on your plan's deductible, coverage levels and annual maximum, so we'll explain what to expect before treatment begins.

What PPO plans usually cover
