The Careington dental fee schedule 2026 is a discount membership price list for the 500 Series — not a dental insurance fee schedule. Careington does not publish one nationwide chair-price table. Membership is $129/year individual, $169/year couple, or $189/year family, plus a $20 one-time fee. Typical member prices we already publish: cleaning about $50, composite filling $95–$145, porcelain crown $600–$900. Look up your dentist and CDT code for the exact 2026 rate.

Not a dental insurance fee schedule
Careington 500 Series is a discount / savings membership. You pay a membership fee and the dentist charges the negotiated member price. There are no claims, no deductible, no waiting period, and no annual maximum. A dental insurance PPO uses a different contract, different billing, and a capped annual benefit. Do not use this table as an insurance allowed-amount schedule.

Per Careington plan data: cleanings, X-rays, fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions, dentures, braces, implants, cosmetic procedures, emergency visits, and specialist referrals are discounted. Pre-existing conditions are not restricted. That is the savings-plan coverage list — not an insurance evidence of coverage.
