Some types of dental insurance cover many of our clients’ needs. These policies can vary widely in the amount and scope of coverage. Although most dental insurance plans do not cover procedures deemed purely cosmetic, there are cases where certain cosmetic procedures are also preventative and functional. These procedures may or not be covered by your insurance plan. To make the process as simple as possible for all of us, your local dentist has established the following policy.
Clients are expected to take full responsibility for the payment of our fee at the time treatment is rendered. We will assist clients in expediting reimbursement of insurance benefits by providing detailed statements for filing with insurance companies. If you have any questions concerning insurance issues please contact our office.
Dental hygiene appointments are important to maintain overall oral health.
For most people, it is recommended that they have a hygiene appointment every 6 months. Some people have periodontal disease or bone loss and we recommend that they come in once every 3 or 4 months.
A few insurance companies have changed their coverage to only include one “cleaning” per year. This is the insurance company’s way of saving money, they did not make this change based on any studies that proved that a dental cleaning more than once a year was not necessary.
Most plans only cover the dental exam, polish, and fluoride once every nine months. We recommend for those on a “nine-month” plan to still have hygiene every five months; however, one of those appointments will be scaling only. For example, the first appointment of the year will be a full cleaning and check-up and in five months’ time we do the scaling only. Scaling is a really important part of a cleaning. Getting rid of the tartar build-up is what keeps the gums healthy. Having scaling done every five months still allows you to have two cleanings per year.
We follow the British Columbia Dental Association Fee Guide to ensure high quality dentistry is affordable and transparent.
We’ll charge your insurance company directly. If your insurance plan doesn’t cover 100% of the treatment, you’ll just have to pay the difference.
Many of our patients pay out of pocket with cash, credit card, debit etc. We also offer in-house financing or third party financing through iDental.
We know most folks don’t like going to the dentist. We use industry leading technology and super gentle techniques to ensure our patients are comfortable. We offer a wide range of solutions for patients with dental anxiety.

During your first visit we will take some X-Rays and give you a tour of your mouth with our intra oral scanners. Then, we'll learn about your oral health goals and give you any applicable treatment options.
Once you know what is going on inside of your mouth, you make the treatment decisions that are best for you. We will never be pushy or recommend treatment that you don't need.
