Our office
is committed to helping student understand their yearly dental benefits.
Each year the Carleton Undergraduate Student Association (CUSA) updates
and registers students for their health and dental coverages. Benefit
packages are automatically billed/applied to the Fall Semester tuition
fees only for Full Time Students (full
time tuition is needed to be paid before insurance registration occurs).
Benefits can be added for students that are part-time, co-op, or international,
this can be done with CUSA. Students coverage is set to a yearly limit
with pre-determined coverage rates. Each year the students' plan is
modified and students should review their plan every year. Benefit pamphlets
are made available at the CUSA office, located on the 4th floor of the
University Center.
Our office is always accepting new patients and we would like to let
you know that our services are available for everyone - Students,
Staff, Family and Friends. Please note that we are not affiliated with
Carleton University.
Presently Students
are insured from September 1, 2007 until August 31, 2008.

the current fee guide. Overall coverage is decreased by approximately
5-10% due to this . Minor Restorative eligibility

fillings for molars and to the cost of composite(tooth coloured) fillings
for the front teeth. Speak with our staff for specific coverage
