Free dental treatment plan decoder

Understand your dental plan. Compare prices in your area.

Snap a photo of your plan. Every line explained in plain English, with typical prices in your area.

Decode your plan

Cover or crop out your name and date of birth if you can — the decoder only needs the codes, teeth, and fees.

AI reads your photo to pull out the codes, teeth, and fees. Every explanation is written by a dentist.

  • Written by a practicing dentist. Plain-English explanations for the codes patients see most.
  • Free, no account. Nothing to sign up for.
  • Your photo isn’t stored. It’s read once for the codes, then discarded.

How it works

Three steps, about ten seconds.

01

Snap your plan

Take a photo of the treatment plan or estimate your dentist gave you, or type the lines in.

02

See every line explained

Each code in plain English, which tooth it’s for, how urgent it usually is, and pictures of what actually happens.

03

Check the price

Add your ZIP code to compare each fee with the typical range in your area, and get questions to ask before you say yes.

Questions

Before you start

Is this a second opinion?

No. It explains what each code on your plan means and what usually happens. Only the dentist who examined you and saw your X-rays can say what you need.

Is my photo saved?

No. Your photo is read once to pull out the codes, teeth and fees, then discarded. There’s no account, and nothing is linked to you.

What does the site keep?

A count of procedure codes that aren’t in our guide yet (for example “D2962 seen 7 times”), so we know which explanations to write next. Unless you untick “Share my prices anonymously,” we also keep each procedure code with its fee and your ZIP code. Never your photo, name, birth date, insurance, tooth numbers, or the dental office.

Where do the typical prices come from?

They’re estimates built from public fee data (state Medicaid schedules, insurer cost estimators and practice surveys), adjusted for your state. A higher fee isn’t wrong — it’s a reason to ask what’s included.

Does this use AI?

Only to read your photo. An AI model (Claude, by Anthropic) pulls the codes, tooth numbers, and fees off the image. Everything you read after that — explanations, urgency, pictures, and questions to ask — was written and reviewed by a dentist ahead of time. If a code isn’t in our guide yet, we say so instead of guessing.

Who made this?

A practicing general dentist who got tired of watching patients leave with a printout full of codes and no idea what it meant.
