INSURANCE

We want to make it straightforward for patients with health cards to get dental care. Please call our clinic hotline to reserve an appointment using your health card with dental benefits. We prioritize patients who schedule their visits ahead of time.

For any questions about your insurance coverage, it’s best to contact your insurance company directly. They will have all the answers about your specific benefits or coverage. We’ll try to fit you in if you have an emergency. Still, it depends on our dentists’ availability. You can call or text us during clinic hours to arrange an emergency consultation. We’re here to assist, so feel free to reach us if you have queries or need assistance with scheduling or understanding your benefits.

We accept most HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) Cards. Refer to the list below:
