Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Rabbit Hill Family Dentistry is accepting new patients at 5958 Mullen Way NW in South Edmonton.

The first visit is usually longer than a routine checkup. The team reviews your health history, takes images if recent ones are not available, and the dentist examines your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues. A cleaning may be done at the same visit if time allows. See What to Expect for the usual order.

Bring a list of medications and allergies, photo identification, your dental insurance card if you have one, and any recent dental x-rays from another office. You can also complete the new patient form before you arrive.

Many people are seen about every six months. The right interval depends on your teeth, gums, and history. The dental team will recommend a schedule after an exam.

Yes. Rabbit Hill Family Dentistry accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

Not necessarily. The federal plan publishes its own coverage rules, and some services need pre-authorization. The office can help you look at an estimate. Eligibility and the share of the fee that is covered are set by the program, not by the clinic.

For non-urgent treatment, the office can help with a predetermination so you can see what your plan may pay before you decide. An estimate is not a guarantee. The insurer decides the final benefit.

The office assists with predetermination and claims. The primary financial relationship is with the patient. You can pay the office and be reimbursed by your insurer, or the office can accept payment from your insurer and keep a credit card on file for any remaining balance.

A third-party financing plan is not published on this site. If cost is a concern, call the office. They can talk through an estimate and how treatment might be scheduled.

Ask the office when you have a treatment estimate. Published payment information covers insurance claims and the balance arrangements described on the insurance page.
