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.
Careington 500 Series pricing through 1Dental, verified October 2026: one member $149/year ($14.95/mo), two members $189/year ($18.95/mo), and 3+ members $199/year ($19.95/mo).

| D1110 | Adult prophylaxis (cleaning) | $33 |
| D2391 | One-surface posterior composite filling | $85 |

Source: Careington Care 500 Member Sample Schedule 501. Specialists do not use this fee schedule; the sample says participating specialists give 20% off their normal fees. Fees are subject to change, and treatment can require multiple procedures. Ask the participating provider for the complete schedule and treatment plan.
Ask the dentist for two written quotes for the same complete treatment: the cash price and the Careington 500 member price. A root canal price may exclude the final restoration. One discounted procedure is not the whole bill. Use this worksheet with your dentist's quotes, adding a row for each service.
| Service and CDT code | Quantity | Cash price per service | Member price per service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service 1: _____ | _____ | $_____ | $_____ |
| Service 2: _____ | _____ | $_____ | $_____ |
| Service 3: _____ | _____ | $_____ | $_____ |
Multiply each price by the quantity, then add the rows for each quote. Add the membership fee and any setup fee to the member treatment total. A blank quote is missing information, not a zero-dollar service.
Example amounts, not Careington prices or a dentist quote: a $600 cash quote, $350 member treatment quote, $100 membership and $20 setup fee give a $470 first-year total and a $130 saving.
Before enrolling, confirm the office still participates in your exact program, ask for every service in the treatment plan and check when the quote expires. The sample schedule applies to participating general dentists; specialists use a different discount rule.
Treatment and participation limits checked October 13, 2026 against the official Careington 2026 Sample Schedule 501. The worksheet uses your quotes; the example amounts are hypothetical.
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.

On a crown or molar root canal, the Sample 501 member maximum is about $770 below the national average cash price, enough to cover the $149 individual membership roughly five times over. On a single cleaning or filling, the savings ($92 and $115) are smaller than the annual fee, so the plan pays off only if you need a larger procedure or several smaller ones in the same year.
| Procedure | National avg. cash price | Careington member max | Savings | Net after $149 fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult cleaning (D1110) | $125 | $33 | $92 | -$57 |
| One-surface filling (D2391) | $200 | $85 | $115 | -$34 |
| Crown (D2750) | $1,300 | $524 | $776 | +$627 |
| Molar root canal (D3330) | $1,250 | $481 | $769 | +$620 |
| Simple extraction (D7140) | $250 | $71 | $179 | +$30 |
Our calculation. Cash prices are the national averages in our sourced dental price index (Authority Dental, ValuePenguin and others; the crown average is for porcelain/ceramic, while D2750 is porcelain-fused-to-metal). Member maximums are from Careington Sample Schedule 501 (2026). Local fees vary; the root canal figure excludes the final restoration.
No. This is the Careington 500 Series discount membership schedule. Insurance uses a different PPO contract with claims and an annual maximum.
