Dental Benefits Program
If you are 65 or older, you may be eligible for coverage from 10 to 100 percent from The Alberta Seniors Dental Benefits Program. This is dependent on your income level. For more information about coverage from this program, download this PDF Information Sheet or call 1-877-644-9992. Our office accepts VISA, Mastercard, debit and cash.
Applications for the Canadian Dental Care Plan will open for children under 18 and for people 18-64 year old with a valid Disability Tax Credit.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) will help ease financial barriers to accessing oral health care for eligible Canadian residents.
Applications will open in phases. Find out when you can apply.
Benefits Program
Every Five Years
Mayfair Denture Clinic recommends replacing dentures every five years. Most insurance companies will cover replacement cost at this time. We suggest having a reline once in every two years and recall every year to ensure good oral health.
Pre-Authorizations
Mayfair Denture Clinic will send a pre-authorization to your insurance company via regular mail or DACnet (online) to find out what costs your provider will cover. Pre-authorizations by mail can take up to three to four weeks depending on the insurance company.
Treatment Plan
Once the pre-authorization is received, we can determine the patient’s cost. We will incorporate this into your treatment plan. Some companies will send the pre-authorization directly to you. Please call us so we can finalize your treatment plan.
Starting the Treatment
After the pre-authorization is received and the treatment plan is confirmed, we can start the work. A deposit totalling half the amount is due prior to treatment. The remainder will be collected once the procedure is complete.
Insurance Claims
Claims will be sent the same way as pre-authorizations if the insurance carrier is on our direct billing list. If your insurance carrier is not listed then we will fill out a standard claim form. Make sure the form is signed and sent to the company by mail. It can take up to three or four weeks for a response.
