Direct billing, CDCP, and extended hours

The clinic handles insurance claims on the patient's behalf and reviews costs before starting treatment, so the patient knows in advance what they will pay. It also accepts patients covered by the CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan) and offers guidance on what that coverage includes and how to make the most of it.

Hours extend into evenings and weekends: the clinic opens Monday to Thursday morning and afternoon, and Fridays and Saturdays until mid-afternoon, with closure on Sundays.
