Navigating the world of Dental Insurance can often feel like a full-time job. Between understanding coverage maximums, tracking insurance limits, and dealing with mountain-high paperwork, the last thing you want to worry about is a large upfront payment at your dental office. At The Little Green Building, we believe that high-quality dental care should be accessible and stress-free. That is why we are proud to be a direct billing dentist in Toronto, ensuring your focus remains on your oral health, not your bank account.
What does direct billing mean?
If you have ever left a dental clinic feeling a bit lighter in the pocket while waiting weeks for a reimbursement check, you will appreciate the simplicity of Direct Billing. Also known as Direct Insurance Billing or “assignment of benefits,” this process allows our dental team to submit your dental insurance claims electronically to your insurance company on your behalf.
Instead of you paying the full cost of your dental services upfront, we ask the insurance carriers to pay us directly. We only collect the “co-payment” or the difference not covered by your specific plan. For example, if your plan covers 80% of a teeth cleaning, you only pay the remaining 20% at the time of your visit.
It is important to note that while we “do it all” when it comes to paperwork, some insurance carriers have a strict policy where they will only pay the patient directly. However, for the vast majority of plans, we accept assignment and handle the communication with your insurance company to ensure “smooth sailing” for your dental records and finances.

The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and Direct Billing
The introduction of the Canadian Dental Care Plan has been a game-changer for many residents in North York and across the GTA. CDCP services are specifically designed to help those without private insurance access Exceptional Dental Care.
A key requirement for the Canadian Dental Care Plan is that the dental clinic must use Direct Billing. Because the government pays the provider directly, you won’t be out of pocket for the covered portions of your care. Dentists who do not accept Direct Billing simply cannot work with this program. At The Little Green Building, we are fully registered and ready to help you navigate your CDCP services seamlessly.
Accessibility, Emergency Care, and Payment Plans
Located conveniently near the Jane subway station, our office is easy to reach for residents across Toronto. We understand that a dental emergency doesn’t always happen during 9-to-5 hours. As your local emergency dentist, we leave room in our schedule to treat a root canal or a broken tooth right away.
We also recognize that some Dental Treatments are an investment. If a treatment (such as dental implants) exceeds your immediate budget, we offer flexible payment plans. We can arrange a monthly payment schedule with no interest, tailored to your convenience.
To better serve our diverse community, we are proud to offer a multilingual service, ensuring that every patient understands their treatment plan and insurance coverage in a language they are comfortable with. We speak English, French, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, and Filipino.
