We Handle the Complexity for You
We submit claims electronically to your insurer immediately after your treatment, which accelerates the reimbursement process. For many patients, insurance can cover 50–100% of treatment costs, significantly reducing what you pay out of pocket.
Common Insurance Questions
Understanding your dental benefits shouldn't be complicated. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
01Does my insurance cover preventive care (cleanings and exams)?
Most dental insurance plans cover routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays at 100%. However, coverage varies by plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand what's covered under your specific policy.
02What is a deductible and how does it work?
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance begins to pay benefits. For example, if your deductible is $50 and you have $200 in dental work, you pay $50 and insurance pays the remaining $150 (minus any coinsurance). Deductibles typically reset on January 1st each year.
03What's the difference between coverage percentages (50%, 80%, 100%)?
Coverage percentages tell you how much your insurance will pay after your deductible is met. If you have 80% coverage on a $500 filling (after deductible), your insurance pays $400 and you pay $100. Preventive care is often 100% covered, basic care 80%, and major work 50%.
04What is an annual maximum and how do I use it wisely?
Your annual maximum is the total dollar amount your insurance will pay in a calendar year, typically $1,000–$2,000. Once you reach this limit, you pay 100% for additional care. We help you plan treatment to maximize your benefits across the year.
05Can I use next year's insurance benefits early?
No, insurance benefits are tied to the calendar year. However, we can help schedule treatment strategically to ensure you're maximizing coverage. If you've exhausted your current maximum, we may recommend spacing major treatment into the new year.
06What if my insurance denies a claim?
If insurance denies or reduces coverage on a claim, our billing team investigates why. We may request a review, appeal the decision, or provide documentation to support the claim. We'll communicate the outcome and any financial adjustments needed.
07Can I combine insurance coverage with financing plans?
Absolutely. Many patients use insurance to cover a portion of treatment and then use one of our flexible financing plans for the remaining balance. This approach minimizes your immediate out-of-pocket cost while keeping monthly payments manageable.
08What should I bring to my appointment regarding insurance?
Bring your insurance card (physical card or a photo). We can look up your coverage with your member ID and group number.
09Do you accept workers’ compensation or auto insurance benefits?
Yes, we accept workers’ compensation claims (WSIB in Ontario) and auto insurance (collision/injury-related dental work). Let us know during your consultation so we can process these claims correctly and ensure proper authorization.
