Who can book
Studying somewhere else?
Your student plan works here too
Our clinics sit on five campuses, but you don’t need a student card from any of them. If you’re enrolled at any college or university and have a student dental plan, book at whichever Healthy Smile clinic is easiest to reach. We bill your plan directly.
Students from any college or university
UBC, KPU, VCC, Emily Carr or anywhere else. Your school doesn't need a Healthy Smile clinic for you to use one. Bring your student plan details and we take care of the claim.
Students at our five campuses
BCIT, SFU, Langara, Douglas and Capilano students can walk over between classes. You're just as welcome at any of our other clinics if one is closer to home.
Metro Vancouver residents
You don't have to be a student, or have any connection to a campus. If you live or work in Metro Vancouver, you can book with us the way you would at any dental office, with an extended health plan, the Canadian Dental Care Plan or no plan.
No Healthy Smile clinic at your school? Start here
Here’s the closest Healthy Smile clinic for some of the larger schools nearby. Every one of them bills student plans from other schools.
UBC
VCC, Emily Carr, Columbia College and other Vancouver schools
Or the BCIT clinic in Burnaby if you live further east
KPU Surrey, SFU Surrey and other Surrey schools
Anywhere else within about 25 km
Healthy Smile is an independent dental hygiene clinic and isn’t affiliated with the schools listed. Run a student union or campus health office? The mobile clinic can spend a day at your school, with no minimum number of patients. Get in touch.
What it costs
With a dental plan, most
patients pay $0 on the day
Once you book, we send a predetermination to your insurer to confirm what’s covered. If anything falls outside your plan, we tell you before your appointment, with time to change your mind. No surprises at the desk.
- Student plans: we direct bill every student plan, whichever school you attend.
- Alumo Dental Network: Healthy Smile is a member of the network (formerly the Studentcare Dental Network), so SFU, Langara and Capilano students usually pay $0 for a cleaning.
- Extended health plans: we bill most plans directly. With a few very small insurers you pay us and claim it back, and we’ll tell you ahead of time if that’s you.
- Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP): accepted at every location, the mobile clinic included.
- New students: you’re covered from day one, but insurers usually allow direct billing only after the first six to eight weeks of your program. Book during that window and you pay up front, then claim it back.
- No plan? Ask about our no-plan package, which bundles the assessment, scaling, polish and fluoride into one visit.

Hygienist or dentist?
Looking for a dental clinic for a cleaning?
Most people search for a dentist or a dental office when what they actually need is a cleaning. Here’s the part many don’t know: in British Columbia a registered dental hygienist can do your exam, scaling and polishing directly, with no dentist referral. That’s the whole visit most people book a dental clinic for.
We’re not dentists, and we’ll always say so. If you ever need a filling, crown or extraction, we’ll point you to a dentist you can trust for that part.
Book with Healthy Smile for
Cleanings, scaling, polishing, exams, X-rays, whitening, sealants, fluoride, sports guards and oral cancer screening.
See a dentist for
Fillings, crowns, root canals, extractions and dentures. We're happy to refer you.

Do I have to be a student to book?
No. Our clinics are on campus, but you don’t have to study or work there to visit. People from across Metro Vancouver book with us the way they would at any dental office, whether or not they have any connection to a campus.
My school doesn't have a Healthy Smile clinic. Can I still use my student dental plan?
Yes. We direct bill every student plan, so a plan from UBC, KPU, VCC or any other college or university works at all of our clinics. Book at whichever location is easiest to reach, or have the mobile clinic come to you.
Which Healthy Smile clinic is closest to me?
We have campus clinics at BCIT in Burnaby, SFU on Burnaby Mountain, Langara College in Vancouver, Douglas College in New Westminster and Capilano University in North Vancouver. If none of them is convenient, the mobile dental hygiene clinic travels to addresses within about 25 km.
Is Healthy Smile a dentist?
No. We’re an independent dental hygiene clinic, and your care is provided by registered dental hygienists.

For treatment only a dentist provides, such as fillings, crowns or extractions, we refer you to a trusted dentist.
