Why Denvida Works for Tesla Employees
We understand the constraints and benefits that come with working at Tesla — and how its dental plan handles implant work. Here is what that means for your treatment and your out-of-pocket cost.
Tesla's Palo Alto engineering offices are just 12 miles from Dr Na's San Mateo office — about 18 minutes via US-101 N.
Tesla employees operate on demanding, non-standard schedules; Dr. Na's practice is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday with early 8:00 AM slots.
We accept Tesla's Aetna PPO directly, so employees never deal with out-of-network reimbursement paperwork.
Same-day CBCT imaging means you can arrive, get your 3D scan, and leave with a full implant treatment plan in a single 60-minute appointment.
Dr. Na's practice accepts Tesla's FSA, letting engineers pre-fund implant treatment with pre-tax dollars and lower their effective cost according to their tax bracket.

| Service Category | Covered | Annual Max | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preventive (cleanings, X-rays) | 100% typical | Usually no cap | Most PPO plans cover routine exams/cleanings in full in-network; Tesla is commonly reported to offer an Aetna PPO. We confirm your specific plan. |
| Basic Restorative (fillings) | ~80% typical | Set by your plan | Common PPO pattern after any deductible; exact figures vary by tier. |
| Major Restorative (crowns) | ~50% typical | Set by your plan | Crowns are commonly covered around half after deductible on PPO plans. |
| Dental Implants (post + abutment) | Varies by plan | Verify with carrier | Implant coverage varies by plan tier — many PPO plans treat implants as major restorative. We verify your exact benefit before treatment, free. |
| Orthodontics | Varies by tier | Lifetime cap varies | Adult ortho and Invisalign are covered on some PPO tiers; confirm eligibility. |
