Alberta Dental Fee Guide
What It Means for Patients at Expressions Dental Care
Understanding dental costs shouldn’t be complicated. At Expressions Dental Care, we believe in clear communication, predictable pricing, and helping our patients make informed decisions about their oral health. That’s why we align our fees with the current Alberta Dental Fee Guide.
This page explains what the Alberta Dental Fee Guide is, how it works, and what it means for you when you visit our clinics.
What Is the Alberta Dental Fee Guide?
The Alberta Dental Fee Guide is a recommended fee schedule published annually by the Alberta Dental Association & College. It outlines suggested pricing for hundreds of common dental procedures, each identified by a standardized treatment code.
While dental clinics are not required to follow the guide, it is widely used by:
- Dental insurance providers
- Employers offering dental benefits
- Patients comparing costs across clinics

How Expressions Dental Care Uses the Fee Guide
At Expressions Dental Care, our fees are based on the current Alberta Dental Fee Guide. This approach helps ensure:
- Transparent pricing with no surprises
- Simpler insurance claims and reimbursements
- Consistency across preventive, restorative, and surgical services
By following the guide, we aim to make dental care more accessible and easier to plan for.
Common Dental Services & Fee Transparency
The Alberta Dental Fee Guide covers a wide range of services, including:
- Dental exams and consultations
- X-rays and diagnostic imaging
- Professional cleanings and preventive care
- Fillings and restorative treatments
- Root canal therapy
- Tooth extractions and oral surgery
Our team is always happy to explain treatment codes, costs, and coverage before any procedure begins.
Dental Insurance & Coverage Information
Most dental insurance plans in Alberta use the fee guide as a reference point when determining coverage levels. While many plans reimburse based on the current year’s guide, some may use:
- Older versions of the fee guide
- Percentage-based coverage limits
- Annual maximums or exclusions
We assist patients by:
- Reviewing insurance benefits in advance
- Submitting claims on your behalf
- Explaining any out-of-pocket portions clearly
Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
Expressions Dental Care accepts the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP). As with all insurance programs, coverage is subject to plan rules and limitations, and patients are responsible for any fees not covered.
Our administrative team can help you understand how CDCP applies to your recommended treatment.
Why the Fee Guide Matters to Patients
Choosing a clinic that aligns with the Alberta Dental Fee Guide offers several advantages:
- Easier cost comparisons between clinics
- Fewer billing discrepancies with insurers
- Greater confidence in treatment pricing
- A more predictable dental care experience
Not all dental offices follow the guide, which can lead to unexpected costs. We believe patients deserve clarity from the start.
