2725 Park Dr, Suite 1, Clearwater, FL 33763
MetLife Dentist in Clearwater, FL
Most people don't realize that being in-network with MetLife means the practice has agreed to set fees — which directly affects how much comes out of your pocket at every visit. At Boulevard Dental, that contract is already in place, so you're not guessing at costs or hoping your claim goes through smoothly.
When you come in, our team looks up your MetLife benefits before you sit down in the chair. We want you to know what's covered, what your deductible looks like, and roughly what you'll owe — before any treatment starts. Dr. Jason Kopakin and the front desk work together so the clinical side and the insurance side never feel like two separate conversations.
Blvd Dental is located right in Clearwater at 2725 Park Dr, and we're currently welcoming new patients. If you've been putting off a visit because you weren't sure how your MetLife plan worked here, this is a good time to find out. You can book online or give us a call anytime during the week.
What Does Your MetLife PPO Cover at Our Office?
MetLife PPO plans are built around three tiers of care. Preventive services — things like cleanings, exams, and X-rays — are typically covered at the highest level, often with little to nothing out of pocket once you're seeing an in-network provider. That's by design. MetLife wants you coming in regularly, and so does Dr. Kopakin.
Basic restorative work like fillings usually falls into a middle coverage tier, meaning your plan picks up a portion and you cover the rest after your deductible. Major services — crowns, root canals, extractions, dentures — are generally covered too, but at a lower percentage, and your annual maximum comes into play here. Most MetLife PPO plans also include an annual deductible that resets each year. The specific numbers on your plan depend on what your employer or marketplace selected, so the coverage details vary from person to person. Before your appointment at Boulevard Dental, we'll verify your benefits directly with MetLife so you have a clear picture of what's covered and what to expect cost-wise.
Boulevard Dental Is an In-Network MetLife Provider
Being in-network means Boulevard Dental has a direct agreement with MetLife on what services cost. You pay the contracted rate — not the full standard fee. That difference can add up, especially on bigger procedures like crowns or multiple fillings in one visit.
If you have a MetLife PPO, you can still see out-of-network dentists, but your out-of-pocket costs are usually higher. Staying in-network at a Clearwater practice like ours means your plan works the way it was designed to. You get the most coverage your plan allows, and our team handles the claims filing so you don't have to deal with that part on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we do. Boulevard Dental is in-network with MetLife Insurance Company, which means we’ve agreed to their contracted rates. That’s good news for you — it keeps your out-of-pocket costs lower than if you went to an out-of-network office.

When a dentist is in-network, they have a contract with your insurance company to charge set rates. You typically pay less because the dentist can’t charge above those rates. Out-of-network dentists can charge whatever they want, and your insurance may cover less — or nothing. Seeing Dr. Kopakin here means you’re working within MetLife’s network, so your benefits go further.
Most MetLife plans cover preventive care — like cleanings, exams, and X-rays — at a high level, sometimes fully. Basic work like fillings is usually covered at a partial percentage, and major work like crowns or root canals is covered at a lower rate. Every plan is a little different, so we always recommend calling us or your insurance company to check your specific benefits before your visit.
In most cases, yes. Because we’re in-network with MetLife here at Boulevard Dental, you benefit from pre-negotiated rates on services. That means you’re not paying full price out of pocket for anything beyond your coverage. It’s one of the biggest practical reasons to stay in-network. Give us a call at (727) 799-4897 — we’re happy to walk through what your plan covers.
