Calgary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Group offers financing solutions for dental implants, which are excluded from the Canadian Dental Care Plan and typically only partially covered by private insurance with significant limitations and waiting periods.
-- The new Canadian Dental Care Plan and Alberta's provincial health insurance do not cover dental implants, creating a financial challenge for patients needing tooth replacement. Calgary Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Group is addressing this gap with financing solutions and insurance navigation assistance at their four locations throughout the Calgary region.

Private insurance in Calgary typically covers only 50% of implant costs, with annual maximums of $2,500 or less. This partial coverage falls short for most patients, as dental implant procedures in Calgary cost between $2,700 and $5,000 per tooth. Insurance companies also impose waiting periods ranging from 6-24 months before covering these procedures, with Alberta Blue Cross requiring a full 24-month wait for individual plans.
The surgery group maintains four practices: South Calgary Oral Surgery (SW), Sunridge Oral Surgery (NE), Mahogany Oral Surgery (SE), and Airdrie Oral Surgery. Their six surgeons provide dental implants and comprehensive oral surgery services across these locations. The team's expertise extends beyond implants to wisdom teeth removal, oral cancer treatment, craniofacial surgeries, sleep apnea procedures, and facial trauma reconstruction.
"We are doing everything we can to make dental implants affordable as this remains one of the best options for tooth replacement," states the practice. Their approach includes helping patients understand their insurance benefits and offering third-party financing options to manage the substantial costs that remain after insurance.
Dental implants function as artificial tooth roots made of titanium that integrate with the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike removable dentures or bridges, implants offer a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. This advantage makes them a preferred option despite the coverage limitations imposed by insurance providers.
Group insurance plans through employers typically provide better implant coverage than individual plans, with reduced waiting periods and higher annual maximums. However, even these enhanced plans rarely cover the full cost of implant procedures. Alberta Blue Cross, the dominant insurer in Calgary, uses different payment structures that can create discrepancies between coverage and actual costs.
Patients can schedule consultations at any location without a referral. During these appointments, the practice evaluates individual cases and discusses payment options tailored to each patient's financial situation. The group's in-office surgical suites allow for convenient treatment delivery, while their hospital privileges ensure they can handle complex cases requiring additional medical support.
