Here’s what the UTSU St. George undergraduate plan (insured by GreenShield) pays on the insured portion of covered dental care:
| Service Type | Coverage Details | Coverage Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Services | Recall exams, X-rays, cleanings, scaling and polishing | 70% |
| Basic Restorative | Fillings, root canals (endodontics), oral surgery, anesthesia | 60% |
| Comprehensive Basic | Lab tests, simple extractions, denture maintenance (basic preventive and basic oral surgery) | 80% |
| Wisdom Teeth | Simple extraction at the basic oral surgery rate; surgical or impacted removal at the oral surgery rate | 60% – 80% |
Annual maximum: $800 per policy year on the insured portion.
If you’re a full-time St. George undergraduate, the plan fee is already included in your tuition and incidental fees. As a Studentcare Dental Network member, we apply the network reduction, which brings your covered exams, X-rays, and cleanings to 100%.
Your union or association determines your plan. All three are administered through Studentcare and insured by GreenShield:
Downtown Toronto Dentistry is an official provider in the Studentcare Dental Network. That membership lets us combine your GreenShield coverage with a network reduction to lower or erase your out-of-pocket cost on covered care. Just present your U of T student ID at your visit.
We’re at 438 Adelaide St E, in Corktown near St. Lawrence Market, in the downtown core, a short TTC ride from the St. George campus. The streetcar and subway both drop you close, and the office keeps evening and weekend hours for students.

Dr. Barimani has practised in downtown Toronto for over 20 years, with training in general dentistry and orthodontics. He handles most student treatment in-house.
Between deadlines and part-time shifts, it’s normal for students to postpone dental care. But unfortunately, we repeatedly see how a small problem turns into an expensive one.
A cavity caught early is a quick filling; ignored, it can become a root canal or an extraction that costs you time during exam season.
Your UTSU, UTGSU, or APUS plan already pays for preventive care, and as a network member, we bring that cost to $0 for covered exams and cleanings. Using the coverage you’re already paying for is the cheapest dental decision you’ll make all year.
Brighten your smile with professional Zoom! whitening, faster and more even than any drugstore kit. Done in a single visit.
Straighten your teeth with clear, removable aligners instead of metal braces. They're nearly invisible for class and presentations, and you take them out to eat and brush.
Veneers and bonding to fix issues you dislike. We focus on natural-looking results that fit your face.
Wisdom teeth often come in sideways in your late teens and twenties. We assess and remove them in-office. Covered in part by your U of T plan.
Receding gums expose the roots of your teeth and cause sensitivity. Gum grafting restores that lost tissue and protects the tooth.
When bone has been lost, a bone graft rebuilds the foundation. This is a first step before a dental implant if you have bone loss.
If you don’t have a U of T student plan, you may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and we welcome CDCP patients here. See our CDCP Downtown Toronto page to check eligibility. Note that this route applies only if you’re NOT already covered by a UTSU, UTGSU, or APUS plan.
Yes. We accept the U of T student dental plans (UTSU, UTGSU, and APUS), all insured by GreenShield, and we bill GreenShield directly.
If you’re an eligible full-time student, yes, the plan fee is included in your tuition and incidental fees, so you’re enrolled automatically. Certain exceptions apply, so check your student account or bring your ID and we’ll confirm.
We do. On covered visits, we submit the claim to GreenShield for you. There’s no upfront payment and no reimbursement forms to chase.
International students are typically enrolled in the same GreenShield student dental plan through their union or association (alongside UHIP for medical). Bring your student ID and we’ll verify your dental benefits before your appointment.
You may qualify for the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), which we accept. We’ll give you a detailed cost estimate before treatment either way.
Yes. No referral is needed. Call us or use the booking form to reserve a time.
