About

Bite Budget is an independent information site about what dental treatment costs in Canada and who pays for it. It is written for people holding a treatment estimate, especially for implants, crowns, bridges or dentures, who want to understand the numbers before agreeing.

The guides cover how implant fees are built, how provincial fee guides influence prices, what the Canadian Dental Care Plan and provincial programs cover, how private dental plans limit payments, how to finance treatment, the medical expense tax credit, and where to complain when something goes wrong. Quebec rules are noted where they differ.

What the site does not do: it does not give dental or medical advice, recommend specific clinics or insurers, or publish real price surveys. Every dollar figure is an illustrative example unless a source and reference year are named. Rules are described as of October 2026 and change; always check the official source linked in each guide, your plan booklet and a written estimate from your provider.

Bite Budget has no affiliation with any dental office, insurer, government program or professional body.
