Affordable Calgary Dentist | Direct Billing Alberta Fee Guide pricing

Affordable dental costs for your family.

WE USE THE ALBERTA DENTAL FEE GUIDE

At Macleod Trail Dental, we appreciate that cost is of great concern to many patients and we strive to provide exceptional value and care at a reasonable cost. Alberta has a recommended fee guide for Dental Procedures.

Insurance companies set their own fee guide, some, like Alberta Blue Cross, have several different fee schedules. Dental fees are based on standardized codes, but the associated fee is established by that office. Dental offices are not allowed to change their fee schedules but must charge all patients the same fee for the same procedure (an exception to this is when dental coverage is with certain government programs such as Social Services or Worker’s Compensation, where the dental office is prohibited from balance billing).

What are your typical dental procedure costs?

Dental Cleanings are based on the amount of time required. Typically a person who does not have any gum or periodontal problems and has had their teeth cleaned in the previous year or two will require 45 minutes of “deep cleaning” or scaling- code is 11113 (Each 15 minute interval is is priced separately) The polishing code is 11101. Many Insurance companies limit the frequency or number of various procedures. While we do not recommend treatment based on the limitations of your insurance plans, we understand this reality and when so directed, will always work within the limitations of your insurance coverage.

We are always happy to provide estimates for all treatment and to assist patients with their Insurance plan coverage. Please feel free to give us a call anytime at 403-253-1248 or email us at info@macleodtraildental.ca.
