Direct Billing to Your Student Plan (Green Shield)

Pape Dental Centre offers direct billing to Green Shield, which administers many University of Toronto student dental plans. Instead of paying the full cost in advance and submitting paperwork yourself, we can bill your eligible insurance directly. Please bring the following items to your appointment:

Our Dental Services for U of T Students

Our team provides a full range of dental services designed to fit your busy student schedule.

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Our dentists remove your wisdom tooth if it causes pain, infection, crowding, or damage to nearby teeth. A part of the surgical extractions may be covered as well. Also, if a referral is needed, we'll guide you through the process.

Dental Fillings

Our tooth-coloured fillings restore the strength and appearance of your teeth and blend naturally with your smile. Many student dental plans cover the cost of fillings. However, a co-payment may apply depending on your remaining coverage and the specific procedure.

Emergency Dental Services

Severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, swelling, and a knocked-out tooth are all considered dental emergencies. Call Pape Dental Centre today to schedule a same-day emergency appointment whenever availability allows.

Root Canal Therapy

If the inside of a tooth becomes infected, root canal therapy can often save the tooth and relieve pain. Your student plan may cover a portion of the treatment, although some cases may require a co-payment.

Regular Dental Checkups for U of T Students

During your dental visits, we'll examine your teeth and gums and check for early signs of decay. During your checkup, you may receive professional cleaning and fluoride treatment. Dental sealants may also be included.

I had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I can’t thank my dentist ( Dr. Sasan ) enough for how smoothly everything went. The tooth was in bad shape and difficult to remove, but Dr. Sasan was incredibly skilled, calm, and patient throughout the entire procedure. He made sure I was comfortable at every step and constantly checked to ensure I wasn’t feeling any pain. His gentle and reassuring approach made a stressful situation so much easier. I really appreciated how professional yet kind he was the whole time. If you’re nervous about dental procedure, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Sasan . You’ll be in very capable and caring hands! I also had a great experience with my dental hygienists ( Rose and also Hengameh) . They were both kind, calm, and very gentle, which made the whole appointments comfortable and stress-free. They were also highly professional and attentive. I truly appreciated their care.

I had an outstanding experience at this dental clinic. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. Everyone is friendly, organized, and attentive, which immediately puts you at ease. I want to give special recognition to Mary Ann the dental hygienist—truly exceptional at what she does. She was gentle, thorough, and explained everything in a way that made me feel informed and comfortable. You can tell she takes pride in her work and genuinely cares about her patients’ well‑being. The dentists are equally impressive, especially Dr. Neruopama Pore, she is knowledgeable, patient, and highly skilled. She takes the time to walk you through your treatment options and ensure you understand every step. Their professionalism and compassion make every visit smooth and stress‑free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a clinic that combines expertise with genuine care.
