Dental Cost Estimator and Directory Disclaimer
Last updated: November 13, 2026.
Estimates only
The Dental Cost Estimator, the Ontario city pages and related content give general estimates. They are not a quote, an offer, or a guarantee of any price, coverage or eligibility.
Where our figures come from
Healthy Smiles Ontario fees come from the Ontario Ministry of Health Schedule of Dental Services and Fees for Dentist Providers. "Typical Ontario fees" are 2026 amounts reported by dental clinics that say they follow the Ontario Dental Association (ODA) Suggested Fee Guide. We have not checked them against the guide itself, and clinics report different amounts. CDCP co-payment percentages come from published summaries and may differ from the current rules of the Government of Canada. We do not yet use the official CDCP fee schedule, so CDCP results are shown as ranges.
Fees vary
Dentists set their own fees. Published fee guides are suggestions only. Your actual cost depends on the clinic, its location, the complexity of your treatment and other factors, and you may be charged more than the CDCP or any plan will pay. Ask for a written estimate before treatment.
Programs change and eligibility
Eligibility, income limits, co-payments, covered services and fee schedules for programs such as the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP), Healthy Smiles Ontario and the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program can change without notice, and our information may be out of date. Only the program administrator can decide whether you are eligible. The estimator shows the date our fee data was last checked.
Not advice, not for emergencies
Nothing on this site is medical, dental, insurance, legal or financial advice. Consult a licensed dentist and your plan administrator about your care and coverage. If you have severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or trouble breathing or swallowing, contact a dentist or emergency services (911) right away.
Dentist listings and the directory
Listings come from public sources and information supplied by clinics. Details such as phone numbers, hours, accepted programs and payment options may be out of date or wrong. "Listed" does not mean confirmed, endorsed or recommended. Some listings may be featured or paid, and featured placement is not a recommendation or a measure of quality. Always confirm directly with the clinic.
