Question 2

How do I find a good dentist in Burnaby?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Does my Medical Service Plan (MSP) cover my dental care in Burnaby?

Accepted Answer

MSP is the provincial insurance program in British Columbia that pays for required medical services. These include medically necessary services such as dental and oral surgery performed in a hospital, certain orthodontic services, eye examinations if there is a medical need, and medically necessary services provided by doctors and midwives.  Routine dental care such as checkups, cleanings and dental fillings in Burnaby are not covered by MSP.  If you receive disability or income assistance, you may qualify for public dental programs which will cover your basic dental costs. Everyone who receives assistance can access emergency dental services to relieve pain.

Question 4

How can I pay for dental treatment in Burnaby?

Accepted Answer

Most Burnaby residents pay for their dental care out of pocket or use private insurance.  Your dentist in Vancouver would like to help you receive the dental care you need to maintain a healthy smile. If you do not have dental insurance and cannot afford to pay for the dental care you need, ask your dentist about financing options or a payment plan.

Question 5

Should I call my dentist or go to the Emergency Room (ER) for tooth pain in Burnaby?

Accepted Answer

Many Burnaby dentists provide emergency or urgent care, so it's always a good idea to call your dental office first.  If your dentist is not available, you can search for dentists offering emergency services near you on the hellodent website.  While the Emergency Room (ER) at your local hospital may also be an option, the ER is unlikely to treat a dental problem unless it's an emergency.

Question 6

Can I get a tooth pulled at a hospital in Burnaby?

Accepted Answer

Tooth removal may be done in a Burnaby hospital in extremely rare cases.  However, most general dentists in Burnaby will offer tooth extraction services. If you are looking for a dentist near you, hellodent can help.
