IFHP Dentist in Toronto, Queen West: Refugee Dental Care

At Lisgar Park Dental on Queen Street West, we provide urgent and essential dental care for refugee claimants, resettled refugees and other patients covered by the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). We check your coverage before treatment and explain your share of the cost, so you know exactly what to expect.

The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) is a Government of Canada initiative that offers temporary health and dental benefits for:

  • Refugee claimants

  • Resettled refugees

Our clinic accepts IFHP. Since May 1, 2026, IFHP pays 70% of the cost of eligible dental services and you pay the remaining 30% at your visit. Coverage is subject to IFHP rules, limits and, for some treatments, prior approval.

A good dental location with great dentist and other members in the team. They will make you feel comfortable and listen to your needs. Great at their work as well. I did my cleaning, filling and going to have my wisdom tooth extraction as well.

I had my wisdom teeth removal with this dental office and it went super smoothly! The process was quick and painless. I initially scheduled only to have only two teeth taken out, but they opted to do all four at once. They sent me detailed instructions on how to take care of the open wound after and I had no overall issues afterwards. The price was fair as well and they provided me with a discount since my insurance did not cover it. Very positive experience! :)

Service is nice and fast, had a quick checkup after my wisdom teeth removal and they were able to schedule me in the next day and clean the removal spots.
