Check-up and cleaning
Their website has a page about check-ups and cleanings.
Explains things clearly: 15 reviews. Kind, gentle care: 28 reviews.
- Are you taking new patients, and when is the first opening for a new-patient exam and cleaning?
- What will the exam, X-rays and cleaning cost, and what will my insurance or the dental care plan cover?
Nervous about the dentist
Their website mentions sedation for nervous patients.
Nervous patients felt at ease: 30 reviews. Little or no pain: 15 reviews. Kind, gentle care: 28 reviews.
- Say you’re nervous when you book, and ask what helps: a longer appointment, breaks, numbing, laughing gas or sedation.
- If sedation is an option, what does it cost, and will I need someone to take me home?
Dental care plan (CDCP)
Their website says they take the plan: “Do you accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?”
Not many reviews mention this yet.
- Do you bill the Canadian Dental Care Plan directly for this treatment?
- Will anything cost more than the plan pays? Ask for the amount before treatment.
Cost and paying
- What’s the total, including the exam and X-rays?
- How much will my insurance or the dental care plan cover?
- Does anything cost more than the provincial fee guide?
They don’t post prices online. For a rough idea, see what patients across Canada said they paid.
