Payment Info

You may have seen this statement frequently: “We accept direct payment from most insurance companies,” or words to that effect. You definitely won’t see that from us, and proudly so. We believe that accepting direct payment generates too much confusion, and blurs the perception of insurance coverage versus your actual dental needs.

Our focus is on your oral health, and keeping the accounting straightforward prevents us from needing to untangle insurance issues. Here’s how it works: we do dental work for you. You pay us. Your insurance plan reimburses you whatever it’s supposed to. (Simple; hair and stomach lining are retained.)

Payment forms accepted: Cash, Credit card, Interac, electronic transfer and personal cheques. Not accepted: Crypto of any sort.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Appointments are exclusively scheduled over the phone, although they may be requested via elstonwongdds@gmail.com. Please call 705 721 1143 for the exact available appointment times. At no time is an appointment definitively set until we speak with you. The reason for this is to ensure that our scheduling is done properly; we don’t want you to wait too long if you have an emergency, nor do we want to have open time in our schedule if people need to come in.

If you need to change an appointment time:

Please notify us at least two business days in advance of your appointment if you need to change your appointment time. Operating time is valuable, and short-notice cancellations may or may not be subject to a cancellation fee proportional to the appointment length. (However, we are human too, and we understand that emergencies can arise.) Changing appointment times with little notice hurts everyone – the open time left from your appointment is a time that perhaps another person would have liked to use if enough notice was given.

If we need to change an appointment time:

This can happen if we are running late or early. If we know that we are running late, we will attempt to contact you as soon as we know. If time opens up in our schedule, we may also ask if you can come at that time. These fine-tuning adjustments are needed in order to optimize time management.

We love this question, because it carries the inference that we are goofing off somewhere in the back of the office. The simple answer is this: we run late because someone before you needed more time than they had scheduled. This may be because a procedure required more time, a patient arrived late, or we had to see an extra patient or two for emergencies, but most often it is because someone before you had extra questions. When this happens, we are faced with the choice of not answering the questions for the sake of staying on schedule (and thereby rushing the patient out), or we can stay an extra few minutes to answer them.

We choose to answer the questions, and hope that people waiting for their appointments will understand. Dentistry would run on time if it were an assembly line and people had no need for discussion, but dentistry is managing biology – and unfortunately biology does not run on a clock.

We are a general Barrie dental office, and the list of procedures that we offer tends to evolve over time. Most routine procedures are performed in-office, including preventive (exams & cleaning, sealants, biofilm DNA), restorative (bridges, crowns & onlays, dentures, fillings, implants, root canals), smile makeover (invisalign, microabrasion, veneers, whitening), bite & jaw joint managent, help with airway issues, and emergency services. Sedation options are also available, and are great for those with mild to moderate anxiety or gagging problems.

For best results, please maintain good oral hygiene and visit us routinely for examinations – we will often spot problems before they become painful. 

For questions related to each individual treatment, please visit the treatment pages to see our FAQs listed for each corresponding page.

If dental pain does develop, or you have complications following a procedure such as infection, bleeding, or persistent pain, please contact us as soon as possible. We will see you as soon as the emergency warrants. If you develop an emergency outside of normal business hours, please leave a message at 705.733.0880 or elstonwongdds@gmail.com, and Dr. Wong will contact you as soon as possible.

Some procedures are beyond our scope of practice, and are then best handled by specialists. When this occurs, we are still involved in your care. It is a quarterback-like arrangement – we make the appropriate referrals, but still retain overall supervision of your dental needs.

Certainly! Just ask us! If we know of a particular dentist that we can recommend, we will be happy to do so as well as transfer your records. You may be surprised at how far our personal dental networks reach.
