Insurance & Direct Billing
Dental insurance should make care easier, not more confusing. At Barrhaven Dental Fillings, we take the stress out of the paperwork by offering direct billing to most insurers, helping you understand your coverage, and providing clear estimates before any treatment. And if you don't have insurance, you're just as welcome — we offer flexible financing and honest, transparent fees so quality care stays within reach.
Our friendly front-desk team in Barrhaven handles insurance every day. Bring your plan details to your visit and we'll guide you through what's covered, what to expect, and how to make the most of your benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer direct billing to insurance in Barrhaven?
Yes. We offer direct billing to most major insurance providers wherever your plan permits it, which means we submit your claim for you and you typically only pay your portion at the appointment. Bring your insurance details when you book and our team will take care of the rest.
How do I know what my dental plan covers?
Coverage varies widely between plans — they differ in annual maximums, the percentage covered for different procedures, and any waiting periods. Our team can help you review your benefits and provide an estimate of your out-of-pocket cost before treatment. For full details, it's always worth confirming specifics with your insurer too.
What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?
The Canadian Dental Care Plan is a federal program designed to help make dental care more affordable for eligible Canadian residents without private coverage who meet income criteria.

What if I don't have any dental insurance?
You're very welcome at our practice. We keep care affordable with transparent, ODA-based fees and flexible financing that lets you spread costs over time. We'll always help you prioritize the treatment that matters most so cost never stands between you and a healthy smile. See our dental financing page for details.
Will I have to pay anything at my appointment?
Usually just your portion — the part your plan doesn't cover, such as a co-pay or any amount above your coverage. We confirm this estimate with you before treatment so you know what to expect. For uninsured patients, we'll discuss payment and financing options in advance.
Does direct billing cost extra?
No. Direct billing is a convenience we provide to make your visit easier — there's no added fee for submitting your claim. It simply means less paperwork and less out-of-pocket spending for you at the time of treatment.
