MetLife Dentist in Spokane, WA
Most people don't realize that being in-network with MetLife means your dentist has agreed to set fees — which translates directly to lower out-of-pocket costs for you. That's exactly the situation at Trailhead Dental, where Dr. Jake Storer is an in-network MetLife provider and your plan works the way it's supposed to.
When you come in, you won't be handed a stack of confusing paperwork and left to figure it out. The team here handles the claim submission for you. They'll check your benefits before your appointment, walk you through what your plan covers, and let you know upfront if anything falls outside it. No surprises at the front desk.
Trailhead Dental is located at 5011 W Lowell Ave in Spokane — and they're currently welcoming new patients. If you've been putting off a visit because you weren't sure how your MetLife coverage would work, this is a good place to start. Booking online takes about two minutes.
What Does Your MetLife PPO Cover at Trailhead Dental?
MetLife PPO plans are structured around three tiers of care. Preventive services — things like routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays — are typically covered at the highest percentage, often at little to no cost to you when you see an in-network provider. That's by design. Your plan wants you coming in regularly, and it rewards you for it.
Basic restorative care, like fillings, usually falls into the next tier — your plan typically covers a solid portion, and you share a smaller co-pay. Major work like crowns, bridges, or root canals is usually covered at a lower percentage, though your plan still contributes meaningfully toward the cost. Most MetLife PPO plans come with an annual maximum — a cap on what the plan will pay in a given year — as well as a deductible that applies to certain services. Because plan details vary depending on your specific employer or individual policy, it's always worth verifying your exact benefits before your visit. The team at Trailhead Dental can help you do that.
Trailhead Dental Is an In-Network MetLife Provider
Being in-network means Dr. Storer's practice has a direct contract with MetLife. That contract sets the fees for covered services — and those negotiated rates are lower than what you'd pay out of pocket at an out-of-network office. You're not just hoping the insurance helps. You're getting a guaranteed discount built into every covered visit.
If you've used your MetLife benefits at an out-of-network dentist before, you may have noticed the gap between what the insurance paid and what you owed. Coming to an in-network practice like Trailhead Dental closes most of that gap. Your dollars stretch further, and your annual maximum goes a lot longer.

When you see an in-network dentist like Dr. Storer, your insurance pays a bigger share of the bill because we have a contract with MetLife. Out-of-network dentists haven’t agreed to those rates, so your costs go up — sometimes a lot. Staying in-network is one of the easiest ways to stretch your dental benefits further.
Most MetLife plans cover preventive care — like cleanings, exams, and X-rays — at a high percentage, sometimes fully. Basic work like fillings is usually covered too, though at a lower rate. Major work like crowns or root canals typically costs you more out of pocket. Your exact coverage depends on your specific plan, so we’re happy to look it up for you.
Honestly, yes — in most cases you will. In Spokane, seeing an in-network provider means MetLife’s negotiated rates apply, so the total charge for your care is lower to begin with.
