What Will My Dental Visit Cost?

Every dental procedure is different, therefore, so is the price. The cost of your dental visit is customized based on your treatment, the affected teeth and your individual needs.

Dental Image Therapy Centres follow the Manitoba Dental Association fee guide, which is updated annually. We want to make sure you’re comfortable at your appointment. If you have any questions about the costs associated with your treatment plan, talk to your dentist for a quote and more details. We’re here to help you get your confident smile and part of that is understanding the costs associated with your treatment.

Do you have dental insurance? We take most insurance coverage plans, and direct bill. Contact your insurance provider to get more information on your dental plan.

Some insurance plans will cover the cost outright, while others require payment up front that insurance companies will reimburse you for at a later date. All documents necessary for filing insurance claims will be provided to you by the clinic.

We accept cash, cheque, debit and all major credit cards including Visa and MasterCard. Payment will be due at the time of appointment.

Patients are responsible for covering costs not covered through insurance. Payment plans are available on a case-by-case basis.

Do You Direct Bill Insurance?

The answer is usually yes, depending on who your insurance provider is. Some insurance plans will cover the cost outright, while others require payment up front that insurance companies will reimburse you for at a later date. All documents necessary for filing insurance claims will be provided to you by the clinic.

Patients are responsible for covering any costs not covered through insurance. Payment plans are available on a case-by-case basis.

For new patients, we ask that you provide your insurance information when you book an appointment so we can retrieve and confirm your coverage details before you come in.

Are You Accepting New Patients?

Yes! We're accepting new patients, of any age, at both of our clinics. We're conveniently located to suit your needs in St. Vital Centre and Garden City Shopping Centre.

Do You Accept Children?

Yes! Dental Image Therapy Centres offers pediatric dentistry. We also have child-friendly video games available in both our waiting rooms to keep kids entertained while they wait for their appointment.

Our dentists recommend infants come for their first dental appointment between six months of their first tooth coming in and their first birthday.

Do You Accept Walk-ins?

Both Dental Image Therapy Centre clinics accept walk-ins, but we prefer that patients schedule an appointment in advance. Appointments are necessary so we can reserve the right amount of time according to a patient’s needs. However, we understand that emergencies happen, and that same day service is required in some cases. We strive to offer flexible appointment options which include early mornings, evenings and Saturday.

How Will You Get A Hold Of Me?

Nobody wants to miss their appointment. An easy way to prevent this from happening is by keeping your contact information up-to-date!

If your phone number or email address has changed, please let us know. We use text message and email to remind you of upcoming appointments, send pre-procedural forms and even follow-up information after your appointment. If you’d prefer to be contacted by phone, we can do so upon request.

What X-rays Should I Be Expecting?

During your regular checkup and cleanings (and for some dental treatments) at our Winnipeg dental clinics, your dentist will recommend X-rays to identify underlying conditions invisible to the naked eye. X-rays can spot damage to the jawbones, impacted teeth, abscesses, cysts or tumors, and decay between the teeth.

Here are some common types of X-rays performed at our clinics:

  • Bitewings: For this X-ray, patients will bite down on a small t-shaped device that holds the digital X-ray device in place. The images offer a visual of the lower and upper back teeth — perfect for spotting cavities. This is the X-ray you’ll generally get at your routine checkup.
  • Periapical: These X-rays provide a detailed view of the roots of the front or back teeth. Each X-ray picture can only capture two or three teeth at a time.
  • Panoramic: This X-ray provides a view of your entire mouth, including nasal area, sinuses, jaw joints and wisdom teeth. These X-rays are usually best for evaluating patients who need orthodontic treatment or more complex procedures. Children will also get them to ensure their teeth are growing in properly and to take a look at their wisdom teeth development.
  • Occlusal: This X-ray method shows a clear view of the mouth’s floor and is primarily used to find extra teeth or teeth that haven’t broken through the gum line.

Worried about radiation levels? Dental X-rays are very safe. You would get more exposure to radiation flying from Winnipeg to Vancouver! Learn more about dental X-rays in our Ask A Dentist blog.

Does The Technology You Use Increase Dental Fees?

We follow the Manitoba Dental Association’s suggested fee schedule, so our fees are almost identical to other dental offices in Winnipeg.

Occasionally, someone will ask if we charge higher fees to pay for the advanced technology in our facilities. The answer is no. We strongly believe in keeping our fees low and investing in our clinics to ensure we can offer great patient care. If you ever have questions about our fees, please let us know. We'd be happy to discuss you treatment and the costs associated with it.
