Welcome to the Safari Family!!

Thank you for choosing Safari Children’s Dentistry to take care of your child’s dental health.  

We are dental SPECIALIST office that strives to provide children with a positive and FUN dental experience so they can actually grow up loving the dentist!!

​

In order to provide proper and complete care, we require that parents complete a health history as part of their child’s permanent records in our office.  This and all the information on file in our office will remain confidential.  Once you have booked an appointment, you will be redirected to a page with our new patient forms package.  We would appreciate if you would complete the forms fully once the appointment is booked.

​

COMMON QUESTIONS:
1.   HAS YOUR CHILD BEEN TO ANOTHER DENTAL OFFICE???
If your child has previously been to another dentist, please make sure you complete the Release of Information form ASAP which is in the package (above) so we can forward it to your previous dental office to ensure that we receive copies of any records or x-rays they have for your child prior to the actual appointment date.

2.   DO WE DIRECT BILL TO INSURANCE? OUR FINANCIAL POLICY
We direct bill most private and group insurance plans in Canada however in order to do so we do require a credit card to be put on file to secure the account.  If after the insurance pays there is a balance we will notify you prior to charging the card we have on file so you have the option of paying through a different method.  If your insurance does not cover 100% of the services rendered and co-payments are required, or if your insurance company does not allow assignment, we require that these balances are paid at the time of the appointment.  
If you have any questions or concerns about what your insurance plan will cover for this appointment, please contact your insurance provider prior to your appointment and ask them for a general breakdown of your dental plan. Once you obtain this information, please feel free to bring it with you to your appointment so that we may place a copy in your child's file for future reference.
Healthy Smiles Ontario (HSO) insurance is not accepted at our offices.
NIHB claims cannot be directly billed, however we will print the forms for you to submit for reimbursement.

3.  ARE WE DENTAL SPECIALISTS?
  Yes! We are part of a branch of dentistry that deals only with children. We have special training and additional education that make us more qualified to work with kids than any other dental professionals may be.

4. CANCELLATION POLICY
  WE DO REQUIRE 2 BUSINESS DAYS NOTICE FOR ANY APPOINTMENT CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS TO AVOID A CHARGE.
