Patients sometimes are not sure their card says "Standard Insurance" at all, because the company usually goes by The Standard. Either way, if you need a Standard Insurance dentist in Richardson, bring your card or call us with your member details and we will take it from there.
From routine checkups to restorative and cosmetic care, our three doctors offer a broad range of services under one roof, with comfortable touches like blankets, headphones and TVs in the exam rooms.

What if my Standard dental plan isn't a PPO?
Our in-network participation is with The Standard's PPO dental plans. If your plan is a different type or is not listed with us, call us before booking. We may still be able to help, or our in-office membership plan, with 12 months of coverage and immediate benefits, may be an option.
Changing jobs or between plans? The membership plan can help you stay on schedule with cleanings until new coverage begins. See all accepted carriers on our dental insurance page.
