I'm back looking for dentists again. While I don't mind the one I found for OW recipients, what I need to have done now falls outside the scope of what OW will cover ( Read more... )

i just think it was the dentist I went to, honestly.

ODSP i think is on the same GWL insurance, but i think the eligibility might be slightly different. I think my pulpectomy for my tooth was covered but the root canal was not.

I think it's a bit of a laugh that extractions are covered, no questions asked though! ;p

Go to the UofT Faculty of Dentistry. Might be tough to get in, but I called and said I had an emergency filling needed and I was put into the program without waiting. As for the price, my last root canal cost around $300 there. They generally have things for half the price of regular shops.

UofT isn't accepting any patients right now, not even on emergency basis :( That was my first choice, of course but I'll have to wait until August to get on the patient roster.

Could you get the filling fixed until then?

that's my next plan of action, i called my boyfriends' dentist and the receptionist suggested that I get it filled and then get the crown after. I guess I'll have to wait and see if the filling will hold out until August :p

I go to Steelworkers' Dental on Cecil. I don't know what they charge for procedures like that since i've only ever gotten check-ups, but they're really nice and chill and if your insurance plan doesn't fully cover appointments they don't charge you any co-pay, so based on that i'm thinking it might be cheaper.
