Sturgeon Dental Malibu Publishes Patient Cost Guides for Veneers, Crowns, Dentures, Whitening and Invisalign

Nov 12, 2026

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.

No. The guides use published national figures from sources such as WebMD, Humana and Invisalign, not Sturgeon Dental Malibu’s own fee schedule. A patient’s actual cost depends on their individual treatment plan.

Does dental insurance cover veneers or Invisalign?

Singson banks on Match Play magic to revive title defense bid

Singson banks on Match Play magic to revive title defense bid

MANILA, Philippines — Mafy Singson hardly comes into the ICTSI Anvaya Cove Match Play Invitational looking like a defending champion poised for another title run. With no victory and just one runner-up finish in eight Ladies Philippine Golf Tour appearances this season, Singson's campaign has been far from encouraging. Her No. 12 finish in the LPGT Order of Merit likewise reflects a season marked more by struggles than by the form that made her a champion. But if there's one thing that could work in her favor, it's the very format of the P1.5-million championship set Nov. 18-20 at Anvaya Cove in Morong, Bataan. Unlike stroke play, where consistency over four rounds is paramount, match play offers a different proposition – one that Singson has already shown she can handle, even when her game isn't firing on all cylinders. She proved that in last year's edition of the season-ending championship, organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc., at The Country Club, where she overcame early-round struggles, including an inconsistent putting touch, to emerge as the last player standing. Singson displayed remarkable composure in the knockout rounds, surviving pressure and momentum swings before draining a clutch birdie on No. 17 to edge Daniella Uy by one hole in a gripping semifinal duel. She saved her best for last, overwhelming Martina Miñoza, 6-5, in the final as her putting finally clicked from start to finish. That championship run could offer a timely reminder that her fortunes need not be dictated by her season-long results. Singson's campaign has been a largely frustrating one. After tying for ninth at Lakewood, she placed second to Harmie Constantino at Caliraya Springs, shared sixth at Pinewoods, then settled for ties for 12th, 18th and 13th at Summit Point, South Pacific and Apo, respectively. She also struggled early in the year, finishing tied for 37th in the Philippine Ladies Open before winding up joint 31st in the Kenda Tires Open in Taiwan, a co-sanctioned event of the LPGT and Taiwan LPGA Tour. Her task, however, will be anything but easy, with Order of Merit winner Yvon Bisera arriving on the heels of her maiden season-long title and several other contenders enjoying considerably stronger campaigns. The top 16 players in the eight-leg LPGT season have earned spots in the match-play field, with Singson drawing No. 5 Sarah Ababa in the first round. Bisera is slated to face No. 16 Angela Mangana, while No. 2 Constantino is set to take on Chihiro Ikeda. No. 3 Tiffany Lee braces for a clash with Rev Alcantara, while No. 4 Chanelle Avaricio faces Kim Seoyun. The other opening-round pairings pit Miñoza against Velinda Castil, Gretchen Villavicencio against Monica Mandario, and Princess Superal against Uy. In match play, a costly hole does not necessarily spell disaster, as players compete to win individual holes rather than post the lowest aggregate score. The format demands constant adjustments to an opponent's game, the ability to capitalize on openings and the mental toughness to quickly move past mistakes. A hole lost means only one point conceded, but a lapse in concentration or a sudden shift in momentum can prove decisive. Nerves, composure and clutch execution can therefore carry as much weight as power and precision. TMT

Manila AQ Prime Assets dominates PCAP elims 

Manila AQ Prime Assets dominated the elimination round of the Professional Chess Association of the Philippines (PCAP).  Under the stewardship of team owner Atty. Aldwin Alegre and team manager Jojo Legaspi, Manila AQ Prime Assets delivered the most dominant elimination round campaign in PCAP history as the team swept the Alpha Division of the Wesley So Cup with a pristine 25-0 record, finishing as the only undefeated team in the league. From their opening-week routs against Mindoro (21-0), Laguna (19-2), and Pasig (17.5-3.5) to high-stakes clashes against title contenders like the San Juan Predators (14-7) and Toledo-Xignex Trojans (17-4), Manila proved virtually untouchable in the tournament.  The International Master Ricardo de Guzman-led team capped the elimination round by rallying from a blitz deficit to defeat IIEE-PSME Quezon City Simba's Tribe (14-7) before shutting out OCM Cebu Niños in the rapid round for a 19.5-1.5 victory.  With his stellar performance, De Guzman was named Most Valuable Player. The other members of the team are Grandmaster Mark Paragua, IM Eric Labog Jr., National Master Dale Bernardo, Woman International Master Kylen Joy Mordido, IM Ronald Dableo, IM Jan Emmanuel Garcia, Fide Master Christian Mark Daluz and Indian import IM Padmini Rout. "Another proud moment for the Manila AQ Prime Assets squad. You've shown the chess world the true spirit of a fighter. We are all incredibly proud of you," Alegre said.  Meanwhile, the members of the Manila team shifts their momentum from online dominance to the international over-the-board arena with the staging of the AQ Prime International Chess Open Championship on Nov. 18-24, 2026, at the Asian Institute of Tourism in Diliman, Quezon City.  The AQ Prime tournament, held in partnership with the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) and under the auspices of the Asean Chess Confederation—will welcome local and international masters. The weeklong Fide-rated standard chess tournament features the Master Open (2000-above) and Challenger (1999-below) divisions. The 9-round Swiss System tournament underscores AQ Prime's commitment not only to championship-caliber team play, but also to creating world-class competitive platforms for Filipino chess talents.
