Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
Do you offer direct billing to insurance?
At Macleod Dental Choice, our SW Calgary dental clinic puts patient convenience first by offering direct billing with most insurance providers. We encourage patients to bring their insurance card or policy information to their appointment so our team can submit and manage the claim on your behalf.
Do you accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
Yes, we accept CDCP. Please let us know when booking so we can ensure proper billing.
Do you have a cancellation policy?
Yes. We reserve time with our dentists and hygienists just for you and your dental needs. In the case that you are unable to make your appointment we do ask for at least 2 business days’ notice. Please call the office and they will be able to help find a time for you to rebook.
Do you follow the provincial fee guide?
Yes, our clinic follows the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, which is updated annually on January 1st by the Alberta Dental Association and College. This guide provides standardized recommendations for dental service fees, helping practices maintain consistency and transparency. It is also widely used by insurance providers as a reference when determining coverage, making it an important resource for both our patients and their dental benefits.
Do you offer payment pants?
Yes — we offer flexible payment options for larger treatments to make dental care more accessible. Our team will work with you to find a solution that suits your budget while ensuring you receive the care you need. We provide interest-free monthly payment options and can help coordinate with insurance providers when applicable, so you can focus on your oral health without financial stress.
How should I prepare for my first appointment?
For your first appointment with our SW Calgary dentist, please bring your health card, insurance information, and any recent dental records or x-rays. We also recommend arriving 5–10 minutes early to allow time for check-in and to complete any necessary paperwork.
Is an emergency root canal painful?
No, the procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia to ensure you are numb; its purpose is to stop the intense pain caused by the infection.
How long does the recovery take?
Most patients experience significant relief immediately after the procedure, with only minor tenderness for a few days, which can be managed with standard pain relievers.
