Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
When can I be seen for a Dental Emergency?
ASAP! We understand the urgency that a dental emergency, such as extreme pain or a fractured tooth, can bring on. The entire team at Harvest Dental Care are trained to address your dental emergency in the most effective way possible (usually providing an appointment on the same day, based on your needs and availability).
-
Are you Accepting New Patients?
YES WE DO! We look forward to having you join our family of patients! We are humbled by each new patient that entrusts us with their care. As a new patient, you can choose one of several types of appointments based on your needs. Generally most new patients will book:
Check-up & Cleaning
Check-up only
Emergency
Smile Consultation (Invisalign®)
Facial Esthetics (Botox®, Dysport®)
Contact our Calgary Clinic or Cochrane Clinic to get started! Find out more about becoming a New Patient!
-
Do you Accept Dental Insurance?
YES! We accept dental benefits directly from insurance providers, this is known as Direct Insurance Billing. You don’t have to pay for the entire cost of treatment and wait for your insurance provider pay you back (sometimes this process can take several months; leave the trouble to us!). You only need to pay for amounts or procedures not covered by insurance.
-
Do you Follow the Alberta Dental Fee Guide?
YES! We at Harvest Dental Care believe in clarity and transparency in how we care for patients and have voluntarily adopted the new lower fee guide provided by the Alberta Dental Association & College.
While this fee guide decreases the cost of services, we are dedicated & committed to maintain the highest level of quality of care, materials and products for our patients. Rather than focusing on the costs of treatment, the new fee guide allows patients to pursue required dental treatment with confidence. Learn more: Alberta Dental Fee Guide
-
Do you see Nervous Patients?
LET’S DISCUSS YOUR OPTIONS… We understand that dentistry is not easy or accepting for everyone. The first step to dealing with anxiety is to find out what concerns you the most and then mutually making decisions about the best course of receiving treatment.
We offer conscious sedation for dental treatment but many of our patients at Harvest Dental Care that start with sedation treatment “graduate” to having dental treatment without sedation. We believe that compassion and understanding helps patients overcome their fear and anxiety about treatment (yes, it is about us gaining your trust).
-
Do you provide Cosmetic Dentistry?
YES! We offer cosmetic dentistry at Harvest Dental Care. This includes:
Invisalign® Teeth Alignment
Composite Bonding
Teeh Whitening (Philips Zoom!)
Facial Esthetics & Rejuvenation (Botox®, Dysport®)
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Crowns
We don’t push cosmetic dentistry or try to convince you of it’s benefits. We will give you options but you decide what is best for you.
