When we were looking for a new dentist in Calgary, I got ahold of our insurance company's fee guide and their tips for finding a service provider. One of the questions they recommend asking relates to the fee guide. I've never heard a receptionist laugh so hard as the when I asked them whether they charged the fee guide rate. Apparently, it's way way too low in the eyes of dentists.
Obviously, if you can find a dentist that charges close to the fee guide then you're doing well. Just don't expect anyone to charge what the fee guide says. That, apparently, is ludicrous.
