Malibu, California, November 12, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- Guides reviewed by Dr. David Sturgeon, DDS, help patients understand treatment costs as many look to use remaining dental benefits and FSA or HSA balances before the end of the year
Sturgeon Dental Malibu, a family and cosmetic dental practice on Pacific Coast Highway, has published a set of plain-language cost guides to help patients understand what common dental treatments cost before they book a consultation. Reviewed by Dr. David Sturgeon, DDS, the guides cover porcelain and composite veneers, dental crowns, full and partial dentures, professional teeth whitening and Invisalign.
Published on October 25, 2026, the guides arrive as many patients look at using remaining dental insurance benefits and FSA or HSA balances before the end of the year. Each one explains what drives the price of a treatment, how insurance and, where relevant, tax-free health accounts can help, and what to ask at a consultation.
The guides use published national figures from sources such as WebMD, Humana and Invisalign rather than the practice’s own fee schedule, so patients can get a realistic picture of typical costs and the factors behind them, such as material, number of teeth and insurance coverage, before they come in.
“Cost is one of the first things patients ask about, and it shouldn’t be a mystery,” said Dr. David Sturgeon, DDS, of Sturgeon Dental Malibu. “We put these guides together so people can see what usually drives the price of a treatment and what their insurance might cover, then come in and talk through what actually makes sense for their own smile.”
What the Guides Cover
The guide How much do veneers cost? explains the difference between porcelain and composite veneers, how the number of teeth treated affects the overall cost, and what insurance typically does and does not cover. The guide How much is Invisalign? explains why Invisalign pricing is set by each provider and varies by case, how dental insurance may help with orthodontic treatment, and how tax-free health savings and flexible spending accounts can be used.
Further guides cover dental crowns, full and partial dentures and professional teeth whitening, each written to help patients plan, compare options and walk into a consultation with the right questions.
Patients who want to discuss their own treatment options can book a consultation with Sturgeon Dental Malibu.
