Practice scenarios
A good plan does not start with a code, but with a person.
Five fictional situations about what people want to understand: what happens now, what comes later and what still needs a decision?
Rayen, 28
Prevention and regular check-ups“What keeps a routine visit clear — and why are the images a separate line?”
Rayen brushes twice a day, cleans between his teeth and comes in for a check-up every six months. He has had fillings before, but no new cavities in recent years. This fictional example shows how a quiet year can still contain several visible lines.
- Why two check-ups can be shown separately
- What a five-minute cleaning unit means
- Why two small X-rays may appear beside a routine visit
A small overview is still useful: it separates the check-up, cleaning and images instead of leaving one unexplained total.
iFictional profile. The codes and 2026 maximum tariffs are a worked example, not a personal invoice or care advice.

Anne, 33
Several treatments, one readable overview“Can I see what belongs together before the final total becomes a surprise?”
Anne has a sweet tooth, snacks often and does not always brush regularly. In this fictional example, recurring sensitivity prompts a wider conversation. The value of the overview is not the diagnosis: it is seeing the separate parts of a larger proposal before agreeing to anything.
- Which lines belong to the check-up and imaging
- Which actions form the root-canal stage
- Which crown costs may be shown separately
Each phase has its own rows and subtotal. That makes a multi-appointment proposal easier to check, discuss and take home.
iFictional profile. It does not diagnose tooth decay or prescribe care. The 2026 amounts illustrate a possible reading of named code lines only.

Asha, 32
One missing tooth, several clear stages“Which costs are for planning, which are for placement — and what can still be separate?”
After a fall, Asha is discussing an implant and crown. This fictional scenario is deliberately split into planning, placement and restoration so the conversation never collapses into one unexplained amount.
- What is assessed before a decision
- What belongs to implant placement
- Which crown and technical costs may be separate
A staged plan shows the practical order and keeps any separate material or technical costs close to the stage where they arise.
iFictional profile. An implant route is always individual; this example explains selected Dutch 2026 code lines, not whether a treatment is suitable.

Chantal, 47
From extraction to a bridge proposal“What is done now, and what belongs to the later bridge conversation?”
In this fictional example, one molar has to be removed and a bridge is discussed later. The point is not to predict Chantal’s care, but to make the transition from one appointment to a later proposal easy to follow.
- Which line belongs to the extraction
- Why a bridge can include more than one crown-related code
- Why materials and dental technical work can be specified separately
Separating an immediate procedure from a later restoration prevents a plan from looking like one opaque bill.
iFictional profile. A code combination is an example of how an overview can be read, not a standard route or personal estimate.

Max, 54
A longer gum-care journey“How do I keep a long route readable from first research to follow-up?”
Max has noticed bleeding gums and less fresh breath for years. In this fictional scenario, a broader gum-care route is discussed. The plan makes room for research, initial care, a surgical phase and later follow-up instead of presenting one intimidating total.
- What is research and what is treatment
- Why different appointments have different code groups
- When the route is reviewed and what follow-up means
Longer care becomes easier to discuss when each phase has a name, its own code rows and a clear reason for returning to the conversation.
iFictional profile. It does not diagnose gum disease or predict an outcome. Only the treating professional can assess an individual situation.
