Insurance & Billing
Understanding the cost of dental care should be as straightforward as possible. At Suntree Dental, our team helps patients in Leduc understand their dental insurance, government coverage, treatment costs, and available payment options before moving forward with care.
We follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, direct bill most dental insurance providers, accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and other eligible government dental programs, and offer in-house financing and payment options for patients who may need additional flexibility.
Direct Billing for Dental Insurance
If you have dental insurance, Suntree Dental can direct bill most insurance providers on your behalf.
Direct billing allows our team to submit eligible dental claims directly to your insurance provider. Depending on your plan and coverage, you may only need to pay the portion of your treatment that isn’t covered by your insurance.
Every dental insurance plan is different. Coverage can vary based on the treatment you receive, reimbursement percentages, annual maximums, deductibles, frequency limitations, and other conditions established by your insurance provider.
Our team can help you understand the coverage information available to us before treatment begins so you have a better idea of what to expect.
We Follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide
Suntree Dental follows the Alberta Dental Fee Guide when setting fees for dental services at our Leduc office.
The fee guide provides suggested fees for common dental procedures in Alberta and gives patients a useful reference when understanding the cost of their dental care.
Following the Alberta Dental Fee Guide does not necessarily mean your dental insurance will cover the entire cost of treatment. Insurance providers and individual plans may reimburse services differently based on the terms of your coverage.
Before treatment begins, our team can help you understand the estimated cost of your care, the insurance or government coverage information available to us, and any remaining amount you may be responsible for.
Understanding Your Dental Insurance Coverage
Dental insurance can sometimes be difficult to interpret, particularly when you’re considering treatment beyond routine preventive care.
For larger or more involved treatment plans, our team can help you understand what your insurance provider indicates may be covered and what portion of the treatment may remain your responsibility.
When appropriate, insurance information can be reviewed before treatment so you have a clearer understanding of both the dental and financial sides of your treatment plan.
It’s important to remember that dental insurance policies are agreements between patients and their insurance providers. Estimates and predeterminations can be helpful, but final reimbursement is determined by your insurance provider according to the terms of your plan.
We Accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
Suntree Dental welcomes patients who are eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
The CDCP helps eligible Canadians access oral health care, but the services and amount covered can vary depending on your individual coverage and the treatment you require.
Our team can help you understand the coverage information available to us and how it may apply to your treatment at Suntree Dental.
If you have CDCP coverage and are looking for a dental office in Leduc, contact our team and provide your current coverage information when requesting your appointment.
Government Dental Programs
In addition to the CDCP, Suntree Dental accepts other eligible government dental programs.
If you receive dental benefits through a government program, let us know when booking your appointment. Providing your coverage information ahead of time can help our team review the information available before your visit.
If you’re unsure whether we accept your particular dental program, contact our office and we’ll be happy to confirm before you schedule treatment.
In-House Financing & Payment Options
Dental insurance doesn’t always cover the entire cost of treatment, and some patients don’t have dental benefits at all.
Suntree Dental offers in-house financing and payment options for patients who may need additional flexibility when planning their dental care.
If cost is a concern, talk to our team. Depending on the treatment you require, we can discuss the payment options available through our practice so you have more information before deciding how you’d like to proceed.
We want patients to feel comfortable asking questions about cost. Understanding your treatment fees, available coverage, and payment options is an important part of making an informed decision about your dental care.
Planning for More Involved Dental Treatment
Understanding costs and coverage can be especially important when planning treatment such as dental implants, crowns and bridges, dentures, root canal treatment, Invisalign, or other restorative and cosmetic procedures.
Our dentists, Dr. Rahim Ali and Dr. Satvinder Jassar, can evaluate your dental needs and discuss the treatment options that may be appropriate for you.
Once a treatment plan has been established, our team can help you understand the associated fees, available insurance or government coverage information, and payment options before treatment begins.
This gives you an opportunity to consider both your dental needs and the financial side of treatment before deciding how you’d like to proceed.
No Dental Insurance? Talk to Our Team
You don’t need dental insurance to become a patient at Suntree Dental.
If you don’t have dental benefits, our team can explain the expected fees for your treatment and discuss available payment options. Because we follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide, you also have a useful reference point for understanding the fees associated with your dental care.
If you’re concerned about the cost of treatment, we encourage you to talk to us rather than putting off a dental problem. Once we understand what care you need, we can provide more information about the expected costs and available options.
