Many insurance plans cover sedation when it's deemed medically necessary—for example, for patients with documented dental phobia, special needs, or certain medical conditions. Coverage varies by plan. We help patients understand their benefits and, when appropriate, document medical necessity to support insurance claims. We'll verify your coverage before treatment so you know what to expect.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers medically necessary sedation services. If you have documented dental anxiety, special needs, or other conditions that make sedation appropriate, CDCP may cover some or all of the sedation costs. We help eligible patients navigate CDCP coverage and ensure proper documentation.
Costs vary based on sedation type and duration. Nitrous oxide is the most affordable option. IV sedation and general anesthesia cost more due to the involvement of medical anesthesiologists and specialized monitoring. We provide detailed estimates before treatment. For patients without insurance, we offer payment plans to make care accessible.
