Welcome to Maple Ridge Dental Centre
We welcome new and returning patients. These answers explain what to expect when arranging care, visiting our office and using insurance or CDCP benefits.
Appointments and Your First Visit
Yes. New patients are welcome. Call or request an appointment online; our team will contact you to confirm availability.
Our online form is an appointment request, not an immediate confirmation. Our office will contact you to arrange the date and time. For a dental emergency, please call 604-463-2536 directly.
Please bring identification, insurance or CDCP information, a list of medications, and details about relevant health conditions. If available, arrange the transfer of recent dental records or X-rays. Tell us about current symptoms, concerns or dental anxiety.
We review your medical and dental history and discuss your concerns. Your dentist may examine your teeth, gums, bite and oral tissues, and recommend X-rays when needed. Findings and appropriate options will be explained before treatment is planned.
Contact our team for guidance. With your authorization, we can help request relevant records and recent X-rays.
Please call the office as early as possible so we can help rearrange your visit.
Insurance, CDCP and Payment
Where supported, our team can submit claims electronically as a service to patients. Coverage, deductibles, annual limits and exclusions are determined by your plan. Patients remain responsible for costs not paid by their insurer.
Yes. Maple Ridge Dental Centre currently accepts the CDCP-established fee for eligible covered services and does not charge the difference between that fee and our regular fee. Patients remain responsible for any required co-payment and non-covered services. Please visit our CDCP page for details.
Ask our team for an estimate before treatment begins. Insurance or CDCP payments depend on your coverage, and estimates may change if treatment needs change.
Dental Services and Oral Health
Call our office for severe dental pain, swelling, a broken tooth or a dental injury. Call 911 or seek emergency medical care for difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, major facial trauma or another life-threatening concern.
Many patients attend about every six months, but the appropriate interval depends on oral health, medical history, risk factors and current treatment needs. Your dentist will recommend a schedule for you.
Please tell us when arranging your appointment or when you arrive. We can explain each step, answer questions and work at a pace that supports your comfort. You are welcome even if you have not visited a dentist for several years.
Location and Parking
Yes. Ample free two-hour parking is available in front of the office. Visit our Contact page for location details.
