Your treatment plan will include a breakdown of all applicable fees, and we will inform you of all costs before treatment is administered. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Personal Checks and currency for your payments. Please ask a staff member and we will review our payment options to accommodate your financial needs. If special arrangements are needed, please talk to our office manager prior to receiving service.
We believe that important decisions about your dental care should be made by you and your dentist, not your insurance company. Once you have decided on the course of treatment that you want, we will submit your claim and help you maximize your insurance benefits. Because insurance benefits vary greatly, we can only estimate your coverage in good faith, but cannot guarantee coverage due to the complexities of insurance contracts. Your estimated patient portion must be paid
at the time of service. As a service to our patients, we will bill insurance companies for services and allow them 45 days to render payment. After 60 days, you are responsible for the entire balance, paid in full. If you have any questions, our courteous staff is always available to answer them.

I came to Dr. Canida with a dental emergency when my regular dentist had to reschedule an extraction that I had already been waiting for. Dr. Canida had me in the office within the same week, and I was in his office less than an hour total, once. He was very pleasant, and very quick. I felt no pain during or after the removal. I couldn't possibly recommend him highly enough.

I am 51 years old and started going to Canada's when I was 11 or 12 to get my retainers. 51 and still in the No Cavity Club today! Teeth have been neglected for many years on my part living away from Madison but moved closer and I still make the drive along with my wife and son. Never a better place to get your smile on.

I was extremely nervous going to the dentist because I knew I had numerous issues that would need addressed. Dr. Canida and his staff were kind, compassionate and put me at ease. They developed a treatment plan and helped me feel confident about my smile again.

I am terrified of the dentist. As a result, I need a lot of dental work done now. This office has made me feel comfortable and they are very attentive to any discomfort I may feel. I will never go to another dentist. They have been the best so far through this journey and I'm not dreading the rest of the procedures I still have to have done. Vicky is amazing and explains any and everything you may have questions about. I am so thankful that I found them.

Wasn't sure if I was going to get a root canal and crown, or have the tooth removed. Dr. Ben assessed the situation and removal was the only option. So, he pulled out the 40 lbs. sledgehammer, the chisels, pliers, jackhammer and got rid of that thing! The neat thing about the whole procedure was that I felt no pain - even after the extraction. I hate losing a tooth, but I rely on Dr. Ben's expertise when it comes to all things dental, and he's yet to let me down or steer me in the wrong direction.

I am visiting my parents from another state and had an dental emergency. I was apprehensive to go anywhere but my own dentist. I got a recommendation from a family member to go to Dr Canida. I called the for an appointment and I was scheduled for 9:00AM the following day. I was immediately at ease when I was greeted by the receptionist. When Dr Canida greeted me I knew I was in good hands. I felt very calm. I was offered a temporary solution so my family dentist could finalize my procedure or a permanent one. I felt so at ease I opted for the permanent solution. I believe my problem area is in better shape now than it ever has been. If I lived in the area this would be my dentist. Paul Johnson

I would give a no star but there was no option for that. Lied to me and said my teeth were rotting from inside I got a second option an it was old silver fillings that he was seeing them fade. He. Tried to pull teeth that weren't bad. He should not be in this business
