How Dental Insurance Works At Sage Dental

We Accept Dental Insurance

You will need to pay for the treatment upfront and then get reimbursed by the insurance company.

When you pay for your treatment, we will submit your insurance claim for you and you will receive a reimbursement from your insurance company.

If you have dental insurance, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help you find out if your dental treatment would be covered by your insurance provider.

What You Need to Give the Dentist

You can provide us with your insurance company's name, the policy number, and the plan number. We will add your insurance information to your file and save it on hand for all future treatments.

Don't forget to bring your insurance card to your appointments! You can get this information from your HR department at work, or if in doubt, ask your spouse or your boss.

What You Need to Pay For

You will need to pay for the treatment upfront and then get reimbursed by the insurance company.

When you pay for your treatment, we will submit your insurance claim for you and you will receive a reimbursement from your insurance company.

Please remember, your dental insurance might not cover all dental procedures. Always check what your insurance covers before getting a treatment—give us a call and we'll be happy to help you out with this.

What Happens After Your Dentist Visit?

After your dentist visit, our receptionists will send the bill to your insurance company. We will provide you with a statement showing you how much insurance has paid for, and how much you have paid out of pocket. The insurance company will send you a reimbursement.

Usually insurance companies will cover about 80%.

What If You Don't Have Dental Insurance?

If you don't have dental insurance, there are other ways to manage your dental costs.

At Sage Dental in Langley, we have zero-interest payment plans and we also take credit cards. You might also be eligible for certain government programs that help with dental costs. It's important to look into all options and choose what works best for you and your budget.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Sage dental, and I am thoroughly impressed. The staff were exceptionally kind , especially with my children, who felt at ease throughout our visit. The care they received was both gentle and professional, which made the experience enjoyable for us. Additionally, I was able to schedule and attend my own appointment without any hassle. Melissa was so nice and very professional as well as very welcoming. Dr Shafiq Kara was so much knowledgeable and expert.It’s clear that this office prioritizes patient comfort and convenience. I Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming professional and efficient dental practice!

I came upon this office as they took over my regular dentist office. I was nervous about losing my dentist of 20 plus years but I had nothing to be worried about. They have been amazing and I am not the easiest patient. I had a major dental issue and was sent to their main office which is just a block away. I have been beyond pleasantly surprised at the quality of the work and the ease of using them. I would highly recommend. Today I had my regular dental cleaning there as they were still finishing up my implants. It was a breeze and I do not like cleanings at all as my teeth are sensitive. I would highly recommend this office

dr. Rahim & Caitlyn were both so incredibly friendly! I felt like they listed to all of my concerns and met me with multiple solutions to best fit what I was looking for. I left with no questions or doubts and I am totally confident that I am in good hands here. Super happy that I made the switch over to sage dental!

I was a patient of Sage Dental about 4-5 years ago. I stopped going after a horrendous experience with Dr. Maria Tugbang. Firstly, her punctuality was almost always an issue as she was consistently 20-30 minutes behind schedule and I would be sitting in the dentist chair wasting my time until she finally showed up. She would also seem to choose unnecessary and expensive treatments, like regular follow up appointments with herself after hygienist cleanings, so I would have to pay a fee for the cleaning and another fee for seeing her.The worst experience was when I was considering getting veneers. Dr. Tugbang initially recommended that I get some orthodontic work to correct the relapse that had occurred since I had braces, which made sense. But then during a visit, she changed her tune and asked me how much the orthodontist was going to charge me. I told her $1500. And then she said, "rather than giving $1500 to the orthodontist, why don't you give me the money instead and rather than moving the tooth back into it's correct position with braces, I'll just grind away most of the tooth and put a cap on it to make it look like it's in the right position"?!Now, I'm not a dentist, but intuitively that does not sound like a good idea. It does however sound like a very self-interested and greedy move by a so-called health care professional who wants to make some extra money by recommending a procedure that honestly sounds harmful. She was also contradicting her own previous advice. I told her that her suggestion was not what she recommended last time, and she suddenly became incredibly rude and defensive in her reply, so much so that the hygienists present were noticeably alarmed and were actively trying to perform damage control.I was visibly angry and the receptionist told me there was no charge for the visit and suggested that perhaps I would consider seeing Dr. Kara instead, (who apparently had just purchased the clinic from Dr Tugbang). I declined.Anyway, I realize that "Dr." Tugbang has retired from dentistry, (good riddance), and will thankfully no longer be offering quack advice for her own financial gain. I sincerely hope Dr. Kara is a more scrupulous professional going forward. I just had to get this off my chest by writing this review, and will most likely delete it later so it doesn't affect the ratings for the new owner of Sage.

Visited Dr Rahim for a second opinion on my highly rated provider. They took my fears (anxiety) and concerns (spiralling) very seriously. They took their time and did not rush and were gentle which as someone with previous childhood trauma means the world who as a grown man would cry and shake at the dentist. After this experience I decided to fully change to their clinic. During a cleaning it was the same experience. I'm quite pleased with their facilities as well; they have headphones to help with the noise and their office is tidy and has state of the art technology to show you the issue in depth. Dr. Rahim always goes into detail about what causes the issue, how it can be treated through different methods and whether it's a concern or not. I appreciate his explanations.

Had my first visit yesterday, and right afterwards called a friend to say "I'M IN LOVE with my new dental centre!" Everyone was very kind and welcoming, very thorough and honest and open, and also reassuring that yes, I do have options to get that nice smile I've been after for so many years! I FELT HEARD! :) :) :)

I went there today for my annual check up and as always, staff were friendly and made me feel at home. Dr Kara is always jolly, kind, and accommodating. He explains things well and answers any questions I may have. I'm extremely satisfied with my implant, the service, and care that I've received from Dr. Kara and the staff team. I highly recommend their service!

I have been a patient of Sage Dental for about 5 years now, and have had a lot of dental work done by them,including implants.I had gone to Sage Dental with a badly fitting bridge,that was very uncomfortable to say the least. Dr Kara was able to give me implants and I can’t thank him enough. His staff are true professionals and amazing. I appreciate everything about this dentist,and especially the painless,sedation therapy I had for my extractions. I am convinced that Dr Kara is the best of the best at his job,and his staff are very professional and friendly too.I strongly recommend Sage for all dental work.

First time here at Sage Dental. The office is very modern and has the latest technology in Dental Equipment. All the staff were very friendly and informative which made me feel welcome. I have a difficult case needing many tooth extractions and was very stressed and worried when I arrived. When I left their office I was relaxed and relieved about my situation. Dr. Shafia Kara was extremely informative. He took the time to explain every issue in detail and answered all my questions. I am so glad I came to Sage Dental. I would highly recommend them for your dental needs.

After getting options from multiple different dentists, I ultimately went with Dr. Kara at Sage Dental and I couldn’t be happier! My Invisalign treatment went as planned and with no surprises. I enjoy going to Sage Dental and find that the dental assistant Taeya was comforting and very supportive along my 2 year Invisalign journey. I was recommended to Sage Dental by a friend and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family! 5 stars!
