York Student Dental Plan Coverage (2026–27)
York students who pay the YFS fee are covered by the YFS Health and Dental Plan through GreenShield; graduate students have the same dental coverage through YUGSA. Dental costs are reimbursed at 75% up to $600 per benefit year, September 1 to August 31. Unlike some plans, York pays the same 75% across basic and comprehensive basic services rather than a different rate per treatment. Here is how that applies:
| Service | Plan pays | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Recall exam, bitewing X-rays, cleaning and polishing | 75% | Once per benefit year |
| Complete exam, full-mouth or panoramic X-rays | 75% | Once every 3 benefit years |
| Fillings | 75% | Up to yearly maximum |
| Extractions and oral surgery | 75% | Up to yearly maximum |
| Root canal treatment | 75% | Once per tooth |
| Gum treatment (scaling, root planing) | 75% | 4 units per benefit year |
| Yearly maximum | $600, September 1 to August 31 | |
- Figures come from the YFS Health and Dental Plan for 2026–27 and can change.
- Graduate students are covered on the YUGSA plan with the same 75% dental rate and $600 maximum.
- Crowns, bridges, dentures, implants and orthodontics are not covered.
- A predetermination is required before treatment expected to exceed $500. We check your eligibility with GreenShield first and tell you your cost.

Booked solid with lectures? Drop in during opening hours or ring (647) 490-6888 and we’ll slot you in, with room held each day for anything urgent. The chairs are open Monday through Thursday until 7 PM and Saturday until 3 PM, so a dental visit doesn’t have to cost you a class.
Fillings
A filling stops a small cavity before it turns into something that needs a root canal. York’s plan puts fillings at 75%, up to your $600 yearly maximum. You’ll hear the exact figure before any work begins. Ring us to grab a slot.
Checkups and Cleanings
Your once-a-year exam and cleaning is the part of the plan that stretches furthest, and it’s what keeps the pricier problems from creeping up. York covers your recall exam, bitewing X-rays and cleaning at 75%. Tell us your free window between classes and we’ll fit the visit around it.
Root Canal Treatment
A throbbing tooth that won’t settle often means the nerve is involved, and a root canal is what clears the infection and keeps the tooth in place. York treats root canals as a comprehensive basic service at 75%, so a big chunk of the fee comes off right away; because one tooth can approach the $600 cap, we’ll put the numbers in writing first.
Emergency Visits
A tooth that cracks the night before a deadline doesn’t wait politely. Call (647) 490-6888 while we’re open and we’ll try to see you the same day; walk-ins are fine too. The emergency exam that gets you assessed is covered at 75% on your plan, and we we handle the rest of it.
Tooth Extraction
We’d always rather keep a tooth than pull it, but when one is beyond saving, taking it out is the kinder option. York covers extractions and oral surgery at 75%. For wisdom teeth, we’ll send the plan an estimate before booking so there are no surprises.
