About us
We think every student should use the care they already paid for.
GradSmiles exists to close the gap between the dental coverage students have and the care they actually receive.
Most Ontario post-secondary students pay into a health & dental plan through their student union — often without realizing it includes a fully-covered dental cleaning. Between busy schedules, confusing insurance, and the assumption that “the dentist is expensive,” that benefit quietly goes unused year after year.
We started GradSmiles to fix that. We verify your coverage, match you with a vetted clinic that direct-bills your insurer, and handle the awkward paperwork — so getting a cleaning is as easy as filling out one short form. And because building healthy habits deserves a nudge, we say thank you with a $25 gift card.
For clinics, we’re a friendly source of pre-verified student patients who become loyal, long-term smiles. Everybody wins: students get care, dentists get patients, and a benefit that was going to waste finally gets used.
