Using your insurance at Areum

Let us review your benefits
Our team will contact your insurance provider to gather available information about eligibility, deductibles, annual maximums, and coverage.
Plan your care with confidence
Dr. Sunwoo will recommend treatment based on your health and goals. We will then review the clinical and financial details with you so you can decide how you would like to move forward.
Make the most of your PPO dental plan
PPO dental insurance plans are designed to help offset the cost of preventive, restorative, and other eligible treatments. However, every plan is different. Your coverage may depend on your deductible, annual maximum, waiting periods, frequency limitations, and the specific procedure you need.
Regular exams and cleanings can help you use your preventive benefits while allowing us to identify concerns before they require more extensive treatment. When additional care is recommended, we will help you understand how your available benefits may contribute.
Don’t see your insurance listed?
Your plan may still include benefits at Areum Dental Studio. Dental networks and employer-sponsored policies can have different names, affiliations, or participation requirements.
Call our team at (949) 749-0660 and have your insurance card nearby. We will be happy to look into your coverage before you schedule.
