We Try to Keep You Smiling even when you Pay

Nobody likes to be surprised when it comes to costs. That's why we have established a policy of informing you of the costs associated with the treatment plan prior to starting the treatment. Unfortunately, the treatment may come as a surprise to you due to unforeseen complications.

Once we have completed your initial exam, necessary x-rays, diagnostics, and consultation, we will review our recommended treatment plan and its projected cost with you. That way, you can make specific financial arrangements before we begin.

To make getting a beautiful smile as easy as possible, we offer several convenient payment methods from which to choose. These plans are set out below. Our treatment coordinator is available to discuss financial arrangements and select the method of payment that best meets your needs.

Holiday Gift Certificates Now Available

We all know someone who really wants a beautiful smile, but for some reason or another they have not had the work done to get that beautiful, healthy smile. Now you can give them a beautiful gift that they will love. Gift Certificates are available for any amount or for any procedure. Call us today at 604.669.6700 to get that perfect gift for someone you love.

Time & Method of Payment

Unless specific prior arrangements have been made, full payment is due at the time of service or for large cosmetic cases, prior to the commencement of the case. We will accept payment in cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, or American Express.

For larger dental cases, financing is available through Care Credit. We have information on their program in our office.

Insurance is a Reason to Smile; but Should Not Dictate How Your Teeth Look

Some type of dental insurance covers many of our clients needs. These policies can vary widely in the amount and scope of coverage. Although most dental insurance plans do not cover procedures deemed purely cosmetic, in some cases, certain cosmetic procedures are also preventive and functional. These procedures may or not be covered by your insurance plan. To make the process as simple as possible for all of us, we have established the following policy.

Clients are expected to take full responsibility for the payment of our fee at the time treatment is rendered. We will assist clients in expediting reimbursement of insurance benefits by providing the detailed statements for filing with insurance companies. If you have any questions concerning insurance issues please contact our office.
