At Copperstone Dental, it is our goal to offer fair and reasonable dental fees, even though we have a higher cost associated with operating a dental practice in Calgary’s SE. Now with the recent release of the latest Alberta Government Dental Fee Guide, which is being followed and implemented by the Alberta Dental Association and College, it is our goal to be completely transparent about the fees charges for common dental procedures. Since the fees we have been charging are already very close to what was recommended in the new fee guide, we are pleased to present the following chart showing how our most common dental procedures match the fees in the new fee guide.

* Indicates that codes may overlap in the same category, yet still match the fee guide. Prices are subject to change without notice or updates to the latest fee guide. Please contact us if you have any questions or to confirm pricing.
Please be aware that not all procedures are listed as professional fees. The prices for these services vary based on the associated lab costs and depend on the complexity of each treatment. If you have any questions about these additional fees, we encourage you to please call our office to arrange a pre-determination visit with Dr. Tonny Tang or Dr. Brian Wong. This will allow us to evaluate your teeth and your oral health, thus providing you with a more accurate estimate of the work you may need to be done.
At Copperstone Dental, we know that is difficult to determine what is covered and what is not covered by your specific dental insurance policy. Since dental insurance companies can individually decide the maximum amount they will cover for any particular procedure, you need to be aware that the amount covered could be less than what is recommended in the Latest Alberta Dental Fee Guide. Also, please be aware that not all procedures are necessarily covered based on your dental insurance coverage.
