What is the ODA Fee Guide?

The Ontario Dental Association (ODA) Fee Guide is an index of dental procedure codes and suggested fees in Ontario, Canada. The list is updated annually by the ODA, which is a voluntary organization of Ontario dentists and dental experts advocating for better dental care in Ontario. Only dentists that are part of the ODA have access to this fee guide, designed to provide fair and equitable fees for routine dental services. Therefore, no matter where you go in Ontario for dental care, any ODA dentist will provide dental services consistent with ODA fee guide prices.

The ODA Fee Guide is only a framework for prices because there are many variables affecting treatment costs depending on your individual dental situation and needs. Therefore, to get a more accurate quote for dental treatment, it is important to see a qualified dentist to accurately diagnose your problem before offering treatment options and costs.

At Atlas Dental, we believe in the importance of providing fair prices, which is why we follow the ODA Fee Guide for routine dental services.
