Financial Policy
Fees will be assessed for diagnosis, treatment, consultations and other services. Patients are encouraged to ask questions regarding procedures or treatments and the resulting fees.
Patients further accept the financial policies of the office and that dental fees in the office are based on the complexity of the dental procedure. Patients are responsible for payment of services rendered in this office, regardless of any third party dental coverage they may have.
-
We do offer payment plans for extensive treatment after the initial appointment. The payments are broken down into three equal payments paid monthly by post-dated credit card (unfortunately we do not accept cheques for payment plans).
-
No - There is no set Dental Fee Guide in Alberta. The last established fee guide was published in 1997. Every dentist in Alberta is required to set their own fee guide based on their education and training, skill, clinical judgment and experience while taking into account the practice overhead costs. Each Benefit Provider also sets their own fee guide, often having many different fee guides for their different policies. This is why it is difficult for us to give our patients the exact amount which will be their portion outside of what their benefits will pay. Some plans pay below our fee guide, some pay the same fees and some would pay fees higher than our fee guide.
