St. Michael’s students are covered by the UTSU dental plan through GreenShield. We accept it and bill GreenShield directly. Our office is on Pape Avenue, six stops east of Bay Station on Line 2.
All full-time undergraduates at the St. George campus are enrolled in the UTSU Health & Dental Plan, unless they opt out. GreenShield insures the dental side. At Pape Dental Centre, we accept your U of T student dental plan and bill it directly. Just bring your plan ID to your appointment.
The plan’s main focus is on routine care, but it provides partial coverage for some bigger treatments. Included categories are:
Your student plan pays a percentage of each treatment up to an annual maximum. Here is how the three U of T plans compare.
Percentages show the portion your plan pays for each treatment. UTSU covers 80% of simple extractions and 60% of fillings, root canals, and surgical extractions. UTGSU and APUS pay a flat 70% across all listed treatments.
Your coverage resets every September 1 and ends August 31. If you don’t use it, it’s gone. The exact amounts are in your plan booklet on studentcare.ca. To be sure if you opted in, log in to ACORN and check your fees invoice for “UTSU Health Plan” and “UTSU Dental Plan. Then go to studentcare.ca to see your coverage and get your card.
Note: New students can't register a GreenShield account until October 31, but September and October appointments are still claimable after that date.
The appointments students book most often include:
A wisdom tooth shouldn’t necessarily be removed. An X-ray tells us if yours have enough room or if they need removal.
A small cavity is treated in a single visit. We use tooth-coloured filling material matched to the tooth beside it.
In case of a dental emergency like pain or swelling, call us. We'll try to fit you in on the same day. It would be better to call in the morning.
When decay or an injury reaches the nerve, root canal therapy treats the inside of the tooth and saves it. Most cases take one or two appointments.
Your checkups and cleanings happen in one visit. We hold early morning and evening spots for people who have class all day.

As a St. Michael’s student, you don’t need to print or fill out anything before your visit. Just follow these steps:
Book online or call us at (416) 465-3111. Tell us you’re a U of T student on the UTSU plan so we can check your coverage before you arrive.
Your GreenShield plan ID and photo ID. A screenshot of your card from the GreenShield app is enough.
Your dentist explains what’s recommended and what it costs. We submit the claim to GreenShield. If there’s a balance left over, you pay that at our front desk.
