Endodontist That Accepts Guardian in Miami
Advanced Endodontic Group accepts Guardian dental plans at both our Miami Lakes and Bay Harbor Islands offices. Guardian is a common employer-sponsored dental carrier in South Florida, and we treat Guardian members for root canals, retreatment, and endodontic surgery.
Which Guardian Plans We Accept
We participate with Guardian DentalGuard Preferred PPO plans, which cover most Guardian employer-sponsored dental coverage. PPO members can schedule with us directly without a referral in most cases.
Guardian also offers DentalGuard Managed Care (DHMO) plans in Florida. DHMO plans typically require a referral from your assigned general dentist for specialist care. Check your ID card for the plan type or call our office with your member ID and we will confirm.
How Guardian Coverage Works for Endodontic Treatment
Most dental plans classify root canal treatment as a major or basic restorative service. What you pay out of pocket depends on your specific Guardian plan: your annual deductible, whether it has been met, your coinsurance percentage for endodontic procedures, your annual maximum, and whether you are seeing an in-network provider. Because these details vary by plan and employer group, our team verifies your benefits before your appointment and gives you a written estimate of your expected cost.
If your plan requires a referral or pre-authorization for specialist care, we coordinate that with your general dentist. If a treatment plan changes during your visit, we update the estimate before proceeding. See our root canal cost page for a general overview of what affects pricing.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
To make your first visit smooth, bring the following:
- Your insurance card (physical or digital)
- A photo ID
- A list of current medications
- Any referral paperwork or X-rays from your general dentist
Do not delay an urgent visit because you are missing paperwork. If you are in pain, call us and we will work with what you have. We offer same-day emergency appointments at both offices.

Guardian Insurance FAQs
-
Most Guardian PPO plans cover retreatment of a previously treated tooth, though some plans apply a waiting period if the original root canal was done within a certain timeframe. We verify your specific plan rules before scheduling.

Many Guardian PPO plans allow you to see a specialist without a referral. Some HMO or DHMO plans do require one from your assigned primary dentist. Call our office with your member ID and we will check your plan's requirements before you come in.
-
It depends on your plan's deductible, coinsurance, and annual maximum, and on which tooth is being treated (molars cost more than front teeth). We verify your benefits and give you a written estimate before treatment. See our cost guide for the factors involved.

Plan participation can differ by office and plan type. Call the location you plan to visit with your member ID and we will confirm network status for that office.
