Happy Holidays From Atlas Dental
A Special Holiday Announcement
Dear valued patient,
This year has been a very challenging time for all of us. But let us remember that adversity is often needed to build success and that we should give thanks for the little things that we often take for granted, such as friends and family, good health and a warm home.
We would like to thank you for your unwavering confidence in the dental care we provide. Our office will be going on a short break from our usual dental services starting December 24th 2020 to January 3rd 2021. Should you have a dental emergency during this time, Dr David Nguy is always available by telephone (416-597-0534 and dial extension 1) or send a message and he will reply back as soon as possible. An emergency dental visit can be scheduled if necessary.
In the meanwhile, stay warm and stay safe. From our dental family to yours, happy holidays!

Cost of Emergency Dental Exam
The cost of an Emergency Dental Exam depends on the amount of time spent assessing the dental emergency, ranging from a half unit to two units of time, with a unit of time being fifteen minutes. The codes relevant to complete examinations for new patients in the Ontario Dental Association’s Suggested Fee Guide appear as follows:
Examination And Diagnosis, Limited Oral
- 01205 – Examination and Diagnosis, Emergency: $54-157
These fees do not include the cost of dental x-rays. Therefore, a typical emergency dental exam could cost as low as $54 (with no x-rays required) or up to $321 (with 1 bitewing x-ray at $42, one periapical x-ray at $40, and a panoramic x-ray at $82). The dentist will customize the number of x-rays for your depending on your dental needs.
Emergency Dental Exams are considered a basic service under all dental insurance plans and should be covered to your maximum insurable limit, but be sure to find out from your dental insurance plan provider how much you are eligible for before going ahead with dental treatment. Our fees are consistent with the ODA Fee Guide.
Depending on the diagnosis achieved from the Emergency Dental Exam, the dentist will present to you various treatment options. The actual cost of treatment will vary.
