Do We Offer Direct Billing ?

Yes! For your convenience, North Hill Dental offers direct billing (also known as assignment of benefits) to most insurance providers. This means that instead of paying the full cost of treatment upfront and waiting for reimbursement, we can bill your insurer directly for the covered portion of your dental services.

Any remaining balance not covered by your insurance—such as deductibles, co-pays, or services outside your coverage—will be your responsibility and can be paid at the time of your appointment.

Understanding Your Dental Coverage

Dental insurance plans can vary significantly in terms of what they cover and how much they reimburse. While every plan is unique, most cover some or all of the following categories:

 

Preventive Services

Dental exams - X-rays - Professional cleanings - Fluoride treatments - Sealants (especially for children)

Basic Services

Fillings- Root canal treatment - Tooth extractions - Periodontal (gum) therapy

Major Services

Dental crowns Bridges - Dentures - Surgical extractions - Inlays and onlays

Orthodontic Treatment

Some plans offer partial coverage for orthodontics such as Invisalign or braces, particularly for children and teens. Adult orthodontic coverage may be limited or optional depending on your provider.

Not Covered? We’ll Help You Understand Your Options

In some cases, dental treatments may not be fully covered by your plan. This might include cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or veneers, or treatments that exceed your plan’s annual maximum. When that happens, don’t worry—we’ll walk you through all available options, including:

  • Creating a phased treatment plan

  • Offering flexible appointment scheduling

  • Providing transparent cost estimates

  • Discussing alternative treatments where appropriate

We also accept most major credit cards, debit, and offer flexible payment plans to make quality care more affordable.

What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal program created to help make dental care more affordable for Canadians without private insurance. It provides coverage for essential dental services like exams, cleanings, x-rays, fillings, and more, based on your income level and eligibility.

As of May 2024, the CDCP is expanding to include more eligible Canadians in phases—including children under 18, seniors, and people with disabilities. Eventually, the plan will be available to all qualifying Canadian residents without private dental coverage.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, our team at King Dental Centre can help guide you through the application process and explain how to use your CDCP benefits at our clinic. We’re committed to making quality dental care more accessible to our community.
