New patients, insurance and CDCP
Your first appointment
We recommend booking a New Patient Exam. It runs about an hour and a half: a hygienist cleans and polishes your teeth, x rays are taken if needed, and the dentist finishes with a thorough examination and talks you through what they found and what they recommend next.
Please arrive 15 minutes early to fill in paperwork. Bring:
- any dental x rays taken in the past six months, as electronic copies emailed to the clinic
- your insurance information
- a list of any medications you take
- IFHP papers, if you are a refugee covered by the Interim Federal Health Program
Paying for care
- CDCP accepted. We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
- Private insurance. We accept all private insurance plans, and we are happy to bill your insurance provider directly on your behalf.
- Estimates. Patients are ultimately responsible for understanding their coverage before beginning treatment, but we can assist by submitting estimates and direct billing when available.
- Payment plans. KWC Dental is paired with Dentalcard, which gives you a payment plan option for any of our treatments.
