Close to campus

The Same Street as Your Campus

Newnham Campus sits at 1750 Finch Avenue East. We are at 261 Finch Avenue West. The campus was originally called Finch Campus, and the street still connects us, about fifteen to twenty minutes apart.

Getting here is simple. Take the Finch East bus westbound to Finch Station and we are a short walk away. If you drive, there is free parking at the door. We are open six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday, so a visit can sit around class, placement, or a shift.

If you study at Seneca York, your campus sits on York University’s Keele campus. That is a longer trip west, though still straightforward by TTC, and we see students from there too. Our York University students page covers getting here from that side of the city.

Your student plan

Understanding Your Seneca Student Dental Insurance

If you are a full-time domestic student at Seneca, you are already covered. Enrolment happens automatically when you register, and the plan is compulsory unless you opt out with proof of comparable coverage.

The plan is run by the Seneca Student Federation together with ACL Student Benefits, and dental claims are processed by ClaimSecure. Your coverage year runs September 1 to August 31. You may see it called Seneca College dental insurance, because the school was Seneca College until it became Seneca Polytechnic. It is the same plan and the same coverage, whichever name you searched for.

Simple to use

How to Use Your Plan at Our Clinic

Bring your student card

Show us your Seneca student card when you arrive and we will take it from there.

We check your coverage

We look up what your plan pays for before any treatment begins.

You know your cost first

We tell you what, if anything, you will pay before we start.

We submit the claim

We send the paperwork to ClaimSecure so you deal with less of it.

Finding your certificate number

Your certificate number is the letter N followed by your nine-digit Seneca student number, for example N012345678. Bring it along with your student card and we can verify your coverage quickly.

What is covered

What Your Seneca Plan Covers

Your plan is built around the everyday care that keeps teeth healthy. Covered care generally includes:

Exact percentages and annual limits are set by your plan and can change from year to year, so we confirm your benefits before treatment rather than guess. Cosmetic work such as whitening and veneers is not usually covered, though we offer payment plans starting at $190 a month at 0% interest.

For your household

Adding Your Family to Your Plan

Seneca’s plan includes a Family Add-On, so you can put your spouse or partner and your children on the same coverage. If your family is on your plan, we can see all of you at one clinic.

Two things to know before you plan around it. The add-on costs extra, on top of your student health and dental fee. And it can usually only be arranged in the semester you start, so if you want it, sort it out early through the Student Federation or the WeSpeakStudent portal. We treat every age, including young children.

Studying from abroad

International Students at Seneca

International students at Seneca pay a separate mandatory health insurance fee that stands in for provincial coverage. It covers doctor and hospital services, and it covers dental care that becomes medically necessary in hospital. That is not the same as routine dental care, so do not assume a cleaning or a filling is included.

If you are an international student, check with the Seneca Student Federation about what dental coverage you actually carry before you book. Bring whatever documentation you have and we will look at it with you. Most international students are not eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ★★★★★ "Trust" and "peace of mind" are probably the best words I can use to describe my experience at Pearl Dental Group. For many years, I had the same dentist back home, and I trusted her a lot. I honestly never thought I would feel comfortable enough to see another dentist, let alone have that same level of trust. After moving to Toronto, finding a new dentist was a real challenge for me. I visited some different dental offices because I wanted to find the right place for me. But my anxiety was so bad that my hands would shake, and sometimes I couldn’t even walk through the door. When I finally went to see Dr. Ebrahim, I told him before the examination, “I’m nervous.” The funny thing is, I was actually trying to hide how badly my hands were shaking. He simply looked at me and said, “That’s my problem!” I was a little surprised when he said that. But after the examination, I understood exactly what he meant. He took his time, examined me calmly, explained everything clearly, and made me feel that I didn’t have to be afraid. Little by little, I started to feel comfortable and realized that I could trust him. I was also dealing with a back problem at the time, which made sitting in the dental chair uncomfortable for me. Dr. Ebrahim and his team understood my situation and did their best to make things easier for me. I really appreciated that. I also want to thank Dr. Mehrnoush, Dr. Pouria, and Dr. Pouya. Each of them was involved in different parts of my treatment, and I genuinely had a great experience with all of them. Honestly, I couldn’t say one was better than the other. And a big thank you to all the dental assistants as well. They were patient, kind, and supportive throughout the process. These things might seem small, but when you are someone who gets very anxious about going to the dentist, they mean a lot. I can only speak from my own experience, and my experience was this: after years of trusting the same dentist and being so anxious about seeing someone new, I was able to build that trust again with another dentist. Now I understand what Dr. Ebrahim meant when he said, “That’s my problem!” For me, it wasn’t just something he said. He genuinely took my anxiety seriously and helped me feel comfortable enough to get through it. Thank you, Dr. Ebrahim, Dr. Mehrnoush, Dr. Pouria, Dr. Pouya, and all the wonderful dental assistants for being there for me throughout this experience.

Common Questions

How do I use my Seneca dental insurance at your clinic?

Bring your Seneca student card and your certificate number, which is the letter N followed by your nine-digit student number. We check what your plan covers, tell you what you would pay before treatment starts, and submit the claim to ClaimSecure for you.

Am I automatically enrolled in the plan?

If you are a full-time domestic student in an approved postsecondary or post-diploma program, yes. Enrolment happens when you register and the plan is compulsory unless you opt out with proof of comparable coverage.

Can I add my spouse and children to my plan?

Yes. Seneca offers a Family Add-On for a spouse or partner and children. It costs extra and can usually only be arranged in the semester you start, so arrange it early through the Student Federation or the WeSpeakStudent portal.

What does the Seneca student dental plan cover?

The plan covers everyday dental care, including exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and extractions. Percentages and annual limits are set by the plan and can change each year, so we confirm your exact benefits before we begin.

Can I opt out of the Seneca health and dental plan?

Yes, if you already have comparable coverage, for example through a parent, a spouse, or an employer. The opt-out window is early in your first term and again each September, and it lasts for the full policy year, so check the Student Federation site for the current deadline.

Are international students covered for dental care?

International students pay a separate health insurance fee that covers doctor and hospital services, along with dental care that becomes medically necessary in hospital. Routine dental is a different matter, so check with the Student Federation about your coverage and bring what you have to your visit.

How far are you from Newnham Campus?

We are at 261 Finch Avenue West, about fifteen to twenty minutes from Newnham Campus at 1750 Finch Avenue East. Take the Finch East bus westbound to Finch Station and we are a short walk away, or drive and use the free parking.

Do you see students from Seneca@York?

Yes. Seneca@York sits on York University’s Keele campus, which is a longer trip than Newnham but straightforward by TTC. We see students from every Seneca campus, and our York University students page has more on getting here from that side of the city.
