Tick off what to ask and collect before you accept an implant treatment plan in Canada.

Use this checklist when you have an implant treatment plan in hand and before you pay a deposit or book surgery. It is grouped in the order most people work through a decision: understand the estimate, confirm what coverage will pay, plan how to pay, then make the final call.
The items reflect how dental billing usually works in Canada: implant treatment is often billed in stages and sometimes by two different offices (a surgeon or periodontist for the implant, a general dentist or prosthodontist for the crown). Private plans frequently limit implants through annual maximums or alternate benefit clauses, and the CDCP excludes implants and implant-related procedures. A predetermination is the only reliable way to know what a private plan will pay before treatment.
