Using Your York University Student Dental Plan at Our Clinic
Many students avoid the dentist because they think it will be expensive. However, here’s what you may not know: your student dental coverage can make routine care far more affordable than you might expect. Moreover, our team at Empress Walk Dental is here to help students use their York Federation of Students health and dental plan easily.
- Bring your YU-card and your Green Shield Canada insurance information to your appointment.
- Our team will take care of you in a relaxing environment and perform the treatment you need.
- We submit the insurance claim directly to Green Shield Canada on your behalf. This means you usually do not need to pay in advance and wait for reimbursement later.
We also help both domestic and international students understand their dental benefits and coverage options.
How to Find a Student Dentist Near You?
Dental offices are not generally designed with students in mind. If you are searching for a York U dental clinic, here are a few important things to look for.

Transit accessibility
Location matters when you rely on the TTC. A subway accessible dental clinic in North York makes appointments much easier to fit into your schedule.
Language support
For international students, a dental team should offer care in different languages to make healthcare much more comfortable and less stressful.
Direct billing
A student-friendly dental office should bill your insurance provider directly so you do not have to deal with paperwork.
