MEET DR. VADIM LEBOVICH
Your needs may change.
Your plan can reflect them.
A routine review, a damaged tooth, and a decision about replacing teeth need different conversations. Start by explaining what matters most to you and what you have noticed.
Dr. Lebovich can assess your teeth and gums, review previous treatment, and discuss the appropriate next steps. Ask which priorities need attention now and how the remaining care could be organized.
Get to know Dr. Lebovich ↗Keep regular care on track
If you want a new place for examinations and ongoing dental care, begin with a review of your current oral health. Discuss the appropriate cleaning and future recall schedule.
Review repairs and replacement teeth
Tell us about worn fillings, a crown that feels uncomfortable, dentures, or implant-supported teeth. Bring available records so the examination can consider the treatment already in place.
Consider a change to your smile
Explain the appearance or alignment concern you want to address. Compare the commitment, maintenance, and limits of the proposed options alongside the health of your teeth.
MAKE APPOINTMENTS EASIER TO ORGANIZE
A few details now.
Fewer uncertainties later.
For a visit from Oak Park, confirm what is scheduled and what you need to prepare. If you are arranging care for more than one person, discuss each person’s needs and available appointments separately.
Before you come
Tell the team the reason for your visit. Ask about forms and transferring relevant records securely. Have your medication list and insurance details available.
During your visit
Ask for an explanation of the findings and proposed priorities. Share questions about comfort, costs, visit length, or the practical demands of a longer treatment plan.
Before the next appointment
Review preparation, the expected sequence, and any healing intervals. Confirm what follow-up and maintenance will involve, as well as the treatment itself.
FEES, INSURANCE & PAYMENT
Separate the treatment fee
from the expected benefit.
A quoted fee and an insurance reimbursement are different figures. Before deciding on treatment, ask about the estimate, your plan’s rules, and your expected share of the cost.
- PPO insurance
- We work with PPO plans as an out-of-network provider and file claims. Reimbursement depends on your policy.
- Plan limitations
- HMO, DMO, and Medi-Cal plans are not accepted. Ask about exclusions, annual limits, and eligibility before treatment.
- Other payment arrangements
- Review financing terms or membership benefits separately. Neither replaces understanding the proposed care and its estimate.

Questions before
your visit from Oak Park.
Speak with the team if you want to clarify which appointment to book or how ongoing care would work.
Where would I go for an appointment from Oak Park?
Your appointment is at Lombard Dental Studio, 245 Lombard St, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360. We serve patients visiting from Oak Park at this location; we do not have a separate Oak Park office.
What should I ask when choosing a new dental practice?
Consider whether the offered care fits your needs, how recommendations and fees are explained, and how follow-up works. Ask about appointment arrangements and insurance before deciding. You can meet the dentist and review your options at a first visit.
Can different members of my household book visits?
Contact the team with each person’s age and reason for the appointment so suitability and scheduling can be discussed individually. Ask about appointment arrangements rather than assuming everyone can be seen at the same time.
Do I need a specific problem to schedule an examination?
No. You can contact us to establish regular dental care or review your current oral health. Explain any existing dental work and when you last had an examination so the team can help plan the visit.
How do I know what is urgent and what can wait?
An examination provides the basis for discussing priorities and timing. Ask which concerns need treatment, which can be monitored, and what follow-up is recommended. If you have pain, swelling, or damaged dental work, mention it when you call.
Can I understand the costs before agreeing to treatment?
Ask for an estimate that identifies the proposed procedures and any separate charges. Insurance reimbursement and financing terms are distinct from the treatment fees. Clarify these before scheduling the planned care.
What if I have dental insurance through work?
Call with the plan details. We work with PPO plans as an out-of-network provider and file claims, but benefits depend on the policy. HMO, DMO, and Medi-Cal plans are not accepted. Confirm eligibility, limits, and expected personal costs.
Can the practice review existing crowns or implant teeth?
Tell the team what restoration you have and why you want it assessed. Bring available treatment records and implant identification details. An examination determines whether adjustment, repair, maintenance, or replacement needs discussion.
How do I plan the trip from Oak Park?
