How can someone from Tyndall Park get an estimate for gum surgery?+
Start by requesting an assessment on this page or at (204) 338-3003. An estimate depends on your findings, so it is normally discussed once your gums have been examined at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Why can’t you tell me a price online?+
The amount of treatment differs from person to person, depending on the sites involved and the plan recommended. A number given without an examination would not tell you much.
Will my insurance or CDCP cover this?+
That depends on your plan and on the services provided. Bring your details and ask for an estimate, then confirm the coverage that applies to your situation.
Is the surgery the only cost I should consider?+
Ask about the whole course. That may include assessment, any non-surgical care, healing visits and long-term periodontal maintenance.
Can treatment be divided up over time?+
Ask your dentist whether that would be clinically sensible for your sites. The answer depends on how much treatment is planned and which areas are most urgent.
What happens if I simply cannot go ahead right now?+
Tell your dentist so that you can talk through what that may mean for those sites, and which alternatives or monitoring might be appropriate.
