Most insurances will say they provide you with 100% coverage. This is 100% coverage of what they deem an acceptable fee for that specific treatment. They use a fee guide that is substantially lower than rates that are charged now a days. They use the British Columbia Fee Guide from 1997 and decide their acceptable fees based on this, plus inflation. All insurances have different fee guides so not every insurance is the same. We understand that this can be confusing.

Basic treatment for insurance companies is typically checkups, x-rays, cleanings, fluoride, fillings, extractions, and root canals. Major coverage is for items such as crowns, dentures, bridges, and implants.

The first step in selecting a new dentist is to list your needs, which might include:

Original dental records belong to the dentist who provided the treatment, and not the patient, because dentists have to keep all of their records for a period of time, as set out by their provincial dental regulatory body. After you have selected a new dentist, you can request that a copy of your records be transferred from your former dentist.
