Dental Insurance & Finances Mission, BC

We Offer Direct Insurance Billing

Gateway Dental is committed to providing our patients with personalized, quality dental services at affordable prices, and we follow the most up to date British Columbia Fee Guide for all our dental services. We understand that paying for dental treatment can sometimes be stressful. Our goal is to assist you in navigating your coverage so that you obtain the maximum benefits possible and limit your out of pocket expense.

The Gateway Dental team is here to assist you in understanding your insurance plan so you can best utilize your coverage. To guarantee accuracy when dealing with your insurance company, please bring your most up-to-date insurance information with you to your appointment. Dental insurance is a complex subject and we assist in understanding and navigating your coverage details.

Our office prides itself on providing a very high standard of dental care at a very fair price. Dental insurance is often intended to cover some, but not all, of the costs of your dental care. Not all dental plans are the same, and not all treatments are eligible or fully reimbursable.

Please note that the treatment we recommend will always be based on your dental needs, regardless of the nature and extent of your dental plan coverage.

We are pleased to offer Direct Billing (also called “Assignment of Benefits”). Our administrative team is happy to electronically submit your insurance papers directly to your insurance company on your behalf, and accept their payment directly to our office. You only pay the difference your company will not cover. Unfortunately, a small number of insurance companies do not support direct billing so in rare situations payment in full for services may be required.

Please note that despite our efforts, due to the Canadian Personal Privacy Act, we have limited access to any specific information from your dental insurance company regarding your plan. It is your responsibility to know the parameters of your dental coverage plan and to provide our office with accurate and current insurance information.
