Do We Offer Direct Billing ?

Yes! At Smile Dental Toronto, we’re pleased to offer direct billing (also known as assignment of benefits) to most major insurance providers. This allows us to submit your claim directly to your insurer, so you don’t have to pay the full cost upfront or wait for reimbursement.

Any portion not covered by your insurance—such as co-payments, deductibles, or services outside your plan—can be settled at the time of your visit. Our team will always provide clear information about your out-of-pocket costs in advance.

Not Covered? We’ll Help You Understand Your Options

Sometimes, certain dental treatments may not be fully covered by your insurance plan. This often includes cosmetic services like teeth whitening or veneers, or procedures that exceed your plan’s annual limit. If that’s the case, there’s no need to worry—we’ll help you explore all your available options, such as:

  • Developing a phased treatment plan

  • Offering flexible scheduling to spread out appointments

  • Providing clear, upfront cost estimates

  • Discussing suitable alternative treatments when possible

To make your care more manageable, we also accept major credit cards, debit, and offer flexible payment plans designed to fit your budget.

What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) is a federal initiative designed to make dental care more accessible and affordable for Canadians who do not have private dental insurance. It offers coverage for essential services such as exams, cleanings, x-rays, fillings, and more, depending on your eligibility and income level.

Starting in May 2024, the CDCP is expanding in phases to include more Canadians—such as children under 18, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. Eventually, it will be available to all eligible residents without access to private dental coverage.

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team at King Dental Centre is here to help. We can guide you through the application process and show you how to make the most of your CDCP benefits at our clinic. Making dental care accessible to everyone in our community is one of our top priorities.
