Design example with a fictional practice — the practice name, dentists, fees and address are not real.
Dental plans in the US work very differently from one another. Pick your coverage and the reason for your visit, and we'll show what to bring and what to expect to pay.

| Coverage | Saebom Dental | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| PPO | Accepted — in network with many plans, and we also treat out-of-network patients | Out of network, your plan usually pays less, so your share can be higher. We file the claim for you. |
| DHMO (assigned-office plan) | Not accepted | A DHMO only pays at the dental office your plan assigns to you. Ask your plan how to change your assigned office and when the change takes effect. |
| Medi-Cal Dental | Accepted — adults and children | Medi-Cal Dental decides what is covered. Some treatments need approval first, which can delay the start, and if something isn't covered we tell you the fee before we begin. Member line 1-800-322-6384 |
| Medicare Advantage dental benefits | We check your plan | Each plan has its own dental network and yearly limit. Send us the front and back of your card and we'll check. |
| No insurance | Posted self-pay fees — see the fee table | You get a written estimate before treatment. Family members visiting from Korea pay the same fees. |
| Not sure | We'll check with you | Call us with the plan name and the customer service number on your card, and we'll work out which type it is. |
The amount you pay yourself each year before your plan starts sharing the cost. Many plans don't apply the deductible to check-ups and cleanings.
The most your plan will pay in one year. Anything above it is yours to pay.
A copay is a set dollar amount for a service. Coinsurance is a set share, such as 20%, that you pay.
An in-network office charges the fee it agreed with your plan. Out of network, your plan allows a lower amount, so your share can go up.
The first months after you join, when the plan doesn't cover major work such as crowns or implants. If your plan is new, tell us when it started.
How often your plan pays for a service. Many plans pay for a cleaning once every six months and full-mouth X-rays once every few years.
A form sent to your plan before major treatment, asking how much it will pay. The answer can take a few weeks.
A rule that the plan won't pay to replace a tooth that was missing before you joined, such as with an implant or bridge. Not every plan has it, so we check before an implant consultation.
These are our standard fees for patients without insurance. With a PPO plan, the in-network fee your plan sets is usually lower, and your plan pays part of it.

Fees change only for reasons listed here: extra X-rays or CT if your dentist needs them, a bone graft decided after the CT, or a second visit when a root canal has more canals than expected. You get a written estimate before treatment, and we don't start anything you haven't agreed to.
We don't use this table to estimate what you'll pay with insurance, because deductibles, coverage and yearly limits differ by plan. We check with your plan and call you at least one business day before your visit.
Fill them out online before you come, or on paper at the front desk. Forms are in English and Korean.
Full-mouth X-rays, unless we already have recent ones from your last office.
Your dentist checks your teeth, gums and bite, and shows you the X-rays on the screen.
A standard cleaning if your gums are healthy. If you need a deep cleaning, we explain why and schedule it separately.
You leave with a written plan, what your insurance is expected to cover, and what you would pay.
We recommend a first visit around age one, or when the first tooth comes in. Bring a parent or legal guardian. Dr. Grace Lim sees children and families on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card (front and back) and a list of your medicines. If you had X-rays elsewhere in the last 12 months, tell us where and we'll request them.
