In Ontario, most dentists will provide basic dental surgery and restorative dental services consistent with the Ontario Dental Association’s Suggested Fee Guide, such as dental emergency examinations, dental x-rays and tooth extractions, to ensure fair and competitive treatment cost. The Ontario Dental Association’s Suggested Fee Guide is a proposed fee structure that dentists in Ontario may or may not follow. Please consult with your dentist about fees before going ahead with treatment. 

Each dental implant surgery case is unique. Depending on your unique circumstance, implant surgery may be more difficult and more expensive if any of the following is required:

• CBCT scanning
• Computer guided implant surgery
• Immediate implant placement following tooth extraction
• Bone grafting to prevent bone loss 
• Bone regeneration to grow new bone
• Simultaneous gum graft procedures
• Sinus lifting procedures to raise the maxillary sinus floor

Dental Implant services are usually considered a supplementary service by dental insurance plans and may or may not be covered by your dental insurance. Be sure to find out from your dental insurance plan provider how much you are eligible for before going ahead with dental treatment. Your dentist can help you submit an predetermination to your dental insurance.
