Counted from their Google reviews up to September 2026. Something shows here once at least 5 patients mention it. Bigger clinics get more reviews, so compare with care. Google’s rating and review total change every day, so we round them down (like 4.5+ stars or 250+ reviews) to stay accurate until our next update. See today’s reviews on Google ↗

Their FAQ

Answers from their website.

How do I switch to Yonge Forest Dental? Can you transfer my records from my previous dentist?

Your previous record is a valuable set of information we could use to further strengthen our diagnosis. Sounds like a hassle to move the record? No problem, once we send you the form to release the record from your previous office our staff will take care of it before your first appointment is ready!

What payment options are available?

We accept all credit cards, debit cards and e-transfer from the banks! Sometimes insurance companies take longer time to process your claim request and there may be a co-pay remaining to pay. Simply pick your payment of choice on the spot, or send us an email transfer and we can either print or email your receipts.

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

We understand emergencies or unfortunate circumstances arise where you can’t make your appointment. We’re sorry we missed you this time, just let us know 48 hours before the appointment and we’ll rebook you right away at your earliest convenience.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept a wide range of insurance plans to ensure you have access to the care you need. This includes coverage under the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program as well as all private insurance providers such as Canada Life, Group Health, Manulife, Claim Secure, GreenShield, Blue Cross, Local183, Sunlife, Manion, Industrial Alliance, and Co-op. Unfortunately, we do not accept the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) and Ontario Works (OW).

Do you offer financing options?

At our dental office, we understand the importance of making dental care accessible and affordable for our patients. To accommodate varying financial situations, we offer several financing options. For those who can pay upfront for their entire treatment before it commences, we provide a generous discount, incentivizing prompt payment and easing financial burdens. Alternatively, we offer flexible financing plans spanning either 12 or 24 weeks, tailored to suit the specific needs of our patients. These installment options aim to alleviate financial pressure, ensuring that individuals can receive the dental care they need without undue strain on their wallets. By providing a range of financing solutions, we strive to make quality dental care accessible to all, promoting both oral health and financial well-being.

Do you have dentists with experience with treating children?

At our dental office, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment for children, ensuring that dental visits are comfortable and enjoyable experiences. Our dentists are highly skilled and experienced in treating young patients, making them feel at ease throughout their appointments. To foster a child-friendly atmosphere, we’ve adorned our office with cheerful LEGO decorations, sparking creativity and imagination. We got TV on the ceiling so that our young patients can enjoy their favorite TV shows without having to be so anxious through the appointment! Additionally, we recognize and celebrate the bravery of our young patients, rewarding them with special treats for their courage during their dental visits. By prioritizing the needs and comfort of children, we strive to instill positive attitudes towards dental care from an early age, laying the foundation for a lifetime of hea…

Is there parking available at your clinic?

At our dental office, accessibility and convenience are paramount considerations for our patients. We are pleased to offer ample free parking space available at the condo parking lot situated directly behind our building, ensuring hassle-free visits. While visitor parking requires signing in, we take care of this process on behalf of our patients. All we need is their license plate number and the parking lot number in which they are parked. This ensures a smooth and efficient parking experience.

Do you see patients for dental emergencies on the same day?

We set aside time in our daily schedule for urgent concerns and offer same-day appointments when availability allows. If you are dealing with severe pain, swelling, or a knocked-out tooth, call our Barrie office as early in the day as you can so we can fit you in and advise you on what to do in the meantime.
