Your student dental plan is there to help your teeth stay healthy, so why not use it? At Pape Dental Centre, we offer dental care services to U of T students and help them use their dental benefits. We also directly bill the insurance providers on their behalf.

| Plan | Annual Dental Maximum | Typical Coverage | Routine Checkup Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| UTSU | $800/year | Approximately 60%-75% | Often partially or fully covered |
| UTGSU | $550/year | 70% for most basic & preventive services | Usually covered according to the plan’s schedule |
| APUS | $500/year | Typically 70% with co-pay | Coverage depends on your plan details |

Most likely, yes. Many University of Toronto students are automatically enrolled in a student dental plan through their student union unless they have opted out or have alternative coverage. If you’re unsure which plan applies to you, our team can help you verify your coverage.

Our team provides a full range of dental services designed to fit your busy student schedule.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 was really nervous having a molar removed today. Dr Shahrbandi speaks so calmly which helps me relax. He talks you through the procedure while making sure you feel no pain, and before I knew it, it was over. I couldnβt believe how quick it and painless it was, I laughed in disbelief while asking if it was really over. Heβs very caring. So happy heβs my dentist.![]()

I can't say enough good things about this dental clinic! Ildi is my favourite hygienist! She is so gentle, empathetic, and truly caring. I used to never want to go for cleanings until I went to her. When she would inadvertently hit a sensitive spot (causing me to jump or tense up), she would stop and gently stroke my cheek. Super soothing. Then she would move on to next tooth, instead of acting as though I was being silly. Then there's Dr Sima. Such a gentle dentist! And so good at taking care of me and my teeth. Then there's dr Sasan. He has performed 2 extractions for me, and both times, upon completion, I was saying "what? That's it???" The needles for freezing are painless, for the most part (I'm extremely sensitive, if you haven't guessed), and extraction? Pulling teeth? Seriously 30 mins from freezing needle to out the door! And no pain! And the healing is so quick! I want to tell everyone to go t this dental clinic, while wanting to keep them all to myself. Because they are so excellent![]()

Just had fillings done and this is the first time I could walk out of my appointment feeling like I didnβt have a procedure! Dr Sasan was so gentle and made me feel calm all the way through. Accompanied by excellent and friendly staff Laura helped me feel relaxed and like I was in safe hands (I get extremely nervous at the dentist) - and I was! Side note: Ildiko is an awesome hygienist! Thank you team!![]()

Dr. Shahrbandi was amazing. Two very difficult teeth had to be removed, and he did successfully with no pain! Absolutely no pain, and he was very kind and compassionate. If you need dental work he is the best choice. You will be happy! π![]()

I had a wisdom tooth extraction, and I canβt 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 wasnβt 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 youβre nervous about dental procedure, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr.Sasan . Youβll 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.
