During your visit to 2000 Yonge Dental, Dr. Ramin Hassanein & associates will formulate a treatment plan tailored to your oral health needs. It's important to note that your needs may differ from what your dental plan covers. Ultimately, the decision to proceed with any treatment lies with you.
Base your decision on your oral health needs rather than solely on what your plan covers. If you opt for treatment, you are responsible for payment, with the benefits carrier reimbursing the covered amount. 2000 Yonge Dental is prepared to liaise with your benefits carrier to determine coverage, with you covering any portion not included.
I don't have dental insurance and can't afford to go to the dentist.
If you lack dental coverage and cannot pay the entire bill upfront, inquire with 2000 Yonge Dental about potential payment plans. If affordability remains an issue, explore the following options:
Contacting a social services agency to inquire about eligibility for government-funded dental care;
Exploring opportunities at a dental school where senior dental students offer treatment at reduced rates.
Dental services may appear costly, especially since in Canada, we don't pay directly when visiting a doctor or hospital. However, overhead costs for dentists are substantial, encompassing staff salaries, equipment, and other operational expenses.
Fortunately, you can mitigate expensive dental treatments by practicing good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and scheduling routine dental exams with Dr. Ramin Hassanein & associates. While dental exams incur costs, they are more economical than addressing severe dental issues resulting from neglect.
