Dental Specialties - Your Student Benefits in Ontario

Do you need to see a dental specialist for treatment or diagnosis? Your student benefits in Ontario might not cover your entire specialist bill, but you can get discounted rates when you book through Studental.

Studental is your portal to a network of experienced specialist practitioners, including orthodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. With additional discounts on treatment beyond your student benefits, it's more affordable to get the world-class care you need.

Do You Need a Referral to See a Specialist?

You don't need a referral for a specialist consultation, but it's a good idea to start with a general dentist whenever you have dental concerns.

When you book through Studental, your check-up and cleaning is fully covered with your school dental insurance policy. Additional services and specialist visits are available with additional discounts. These can supplement your student benefits in Ontario, resulting in lower-cost dental care.

You can still access student discounts through our partnered clinics even if you don't have specialist coverage through your student benefits in Ontario.

What Types of Dental Specialists are Available?

Dental specialists offer services unavailable at campus dental clinics and general dentist offices.

  • Endodontists specialize in the root canal and dental pulp. They offer root canal treatment in complex cases. General dentists often provide endodontic services, so you won't always need to see a specialist for a root canal.
  • Orthodontists diagnose and treat issues with tooth and jaw alignment. Straightening teeth, closing caps, and correcting the bite are all examples of orthodontic services. Orthodontists deal with complex cases. General dentists can provide orthodontic services like treatment with clear aligners to straighten teeth.
  • Periodontists are gum disease experts who treat advanced cases of periodontitis. General dentists can manage early-stage gum disease treatment and prevention.
  • Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons and radiologists work together for complex surgeries, like jaw reconstruction or total oral reconstruction. These specialists are typically engaged after severe trauma.
     

General dentists refer patients to specialists when the case is complex or requires unique expertise. You can get diagnosis and treatment for dental specialties at a general dentist in many cases. Studental partners with experienced practitioners to ensure you have the best options no matter your dental health concerns.

Additional Discounts on Student Health Benefits

College and university dental insurance usually includes student health benefits with partial coverage for common treatments and diagnostic services. Most policies have student health benefits for dental accidents and repairs with claims within 12 months of an accident. Student health benefits vary by school and policy. Some schools have benefits through a student union insurance package, while others require students to find a provider externally.

Studental doesn't provide insurance but offers students a reliable network of general dentists and specialists with discounted student rates. You can apply your covered student health benefits to your dental services and get an additional discount. Our partner discounts usually range from 20% to 30%, depending on the service. With your student health benefits and our partner discounts, you can get essential services at no cost or significantly lower cost.

Each case is unique. You can learn more by booking your next dental visit through Studental.
