## FAQ

**Q: What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and who qualifies?**
A: The CDCP is a federal program providing dental coverage to Canadian residents with adjusted family net income under $90,000 who do not have access to dental coverage through an employer, spouse's plan, or private insurance. As of 2026 the plan is open to all eligible Canadians regardless of age. Co-payments are tiered: full coverage under $70,000, 40% co-pay $70,000–$79,999, 60% co-pay $80,000–$89,999. Fairmont Dental Centre is a participating CDCP provider and verifies eligibility through Sun Life before treatment.

**Q: What does the CDCP cover?**
A: Preventive care (cleanings, scaling, polishing, fluoride, sealants), diagnostic services (exams, X-rays), restorative treatments (fillings, root canals, extractions), and certain prosthodontic services (crowns, bridges, dentures) when eligibility and pre-authorization requirements are met. Adults aged 17+ are eligible for up to 4 units (one hour) of scaling within 12 months.

**Q: How much do dental implants cost in London, Ontario?**
A: A single dental implant in Ontario — including the post, abutment, and crown — generally costs between $3,000 and $6,500 per tooth as of 2026. Full-arch All-on-4 systems range from $25,000 to $35,000 per arch; All-on-6 systems range $30,000–$50,000 per arch. Bone grafting (if needed) can add $500–$3,000. The CDCP does not currently cover dental implants. Fairmont Dental Centre provides a written quote during your consultation.

**Q: How much does wisdom teeth extraction cost in Ontario?**
A: Costs range from $200–$750 per tooth depending on whether the extraction is simple or surgical. Simple extractions average around $500 per tooth; impacted/surgical extractions range $500–$1,200 per tooth. Most patients budget $800–$3,000 for all four teeth before insurance. OHIP does not cover routine wisdom teeth removal, but most private dental plans cover 70–100% of simple extractions and 50–80% of surgical extractions. The CDCP covers both simple and surgical extractions under its oral surgery category. Nitrous oxide adds ~$75–$150; IV sedation adds $250–$1,000.

**Q: How much does a root canal cost in Ontario?**
A: Root canal therapy in Ontario typically costs between $700 and $1,500 per tooth, depending on which tooth is being treated and complexity. Front teeth (incisors and canines) typically range $500–$900; molars cost more due to multiple canals. OHIP does not cover root canals for adults; most private plans classify them as "major restorative" and cover 50–80%. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so most patients feel little to no pain — comfort is usually similar to a routine filling.

**Q: How does Invisalign compare to traditional braces in cost and treatment length?**
A: Traditional braces in Ontario cost $4,500–$7,000 and average 18–24 months of treatment. Invisalign treatment ranges $5,000–$8,500 (most patients pay $5,000–$7,500), with most cases completed in 12–18 months. Mild cases start around $3,500; complex corrections can reach $8,500+. Most private dental plans cover orthodontics under a lifetime maximum (typically $1,500–$3,000 per insured person), and coverage applies equally to braces and Invisalign. Fairmont Dental Centre provides Invisalign at the London clinic.

**Q: How much does professional teeth whitening cost in Ontario?**
A: Professional teeth whitening in Ontario typically ranges from $300 to $800 depending on the type of treatment. In-office whitening (a single 60–90 minute visit with isolation, measured gel application, and a desensitizing finish) ranges $450–$700. Custom take-home trays plus gel range $250–$350 for the initial kit, with gel refill syringes at $35–$60. Used as directed under dental supervision, peroxide whitening gels don't thin enamel; temporary sensitivity is managed with desensitizers and pacing between sessions.

**Q: When should my child have their first dental visit?**
A: The Canadian Dental Association recommends assessment by a dentist within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth, or by one year of age — whichever comes first. A first visit by 12 months is critical for early diagnosis and prevention of tooth decay, parental education on dietary habits and oral hygiene, and establishing comfort with the dental environment. Visits are typically short (15–30 minutes), non-invasive, and conducted "knee-to-knee" with the parent.

**Q: What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?**
A: Pick the tooth up by the crown (white part) — never by the root. Rinse gently with clean water if dirty; do not scrub or use soap. Try to reinsert it into the socket. If reinsertion isn't possible, keep it moist in milk, contact solution, saliva, or saltwater. Get to an emergency dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth (1–2 hours is the outer limit). Call Fairmont Dental Centre at (519) 451-4490 for same-day emergency care — emergency slots are reserved daily.

**Q: How often should I have a dental cleaning and checkup?**
A: The standard recommendation for most healthy adults is a cleaning and checkup every six months. Frequency may be adjusted based on individual oral health needs — patients with periodontal concerns or higher cavity risk may benefit from more frequent visits. Most private insurance plans cover preventive cleanings at 80–100% up to twice per year. The CDCP covers up to 4 units (one hour) of scaling per 12-month period for adults 17+.

**Q: What's the difference between veneers, crowns, and dental bonding?**
A: Bonding applies tooth-colored composite resin directly to the enamel in a single visit, addressing minor chips, gaps, or discoloration; cost $300–$800 per tooth, lasts 5–7 years. Veneers are thin porcelain or ceramic shells bonded to the front of teeth, requiring minimal enamel removal (0.5–1mm); cost $1,000–$2,500 per tooth, lasts 10–20 years. Crowns fully cover and rebuild a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring both appearance and function; recommended when structural integrity is compromised. Most insurance treats veneers and bonding as cosmetic (no coverage) unless restoring structural damage from trauma or developmental defects.

**Q: What's the difference between dentures and dental implants?**
A: Dentures are removable prosthetics that rest on the gums; in Ontario they cost $1,000–$3,500 for standard full or partial sets. Implants are permanently fixed titanium posts placed in the jawbone with crowns attached, costing $3,000–$6,000 per tooth. Dentures require daily removal at night to let gums rest and ongoing adjustments as gums change shape; implants require daily brushing and regular cleanings, similar to natural teeth. The CDCP covers conventional dentures (with a 3-month post-insertion adjustment period included) but does not cover implants or implant-related services.

**Q: Does Fairmont Dental Centre accept my insurance?**
A: Yes — we accept all credible insurance providers and offer direct billing to most plans. Bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment and we'll verify coverage and submit the claim directly. You'll only owe whatever your plan doesn't cover.

**Q: Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?**
A: Yes. We reserve same-day emergency slots every day. Call (519) 451-4490 for immediate assistance. Common emergency reasons include severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, broken or chipped tooth, swelling, lost filling or crown, and dental trauma.

**Q: Where is Fairmont Dental Centre located and what are your hours?**
A: We're at 613 Hamilton Road, London, ON N5Z 1S8 — on the corner of Hamilton Road and Hydro Street in East London, with free patient parking.
