A Plan to Cover Dental Costs for Refugees

Gum Surgery

At Sameday Dental, we are proud to support newcomers and refugees through the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). This program provides emergency dental coverage and other essential health benefits for individuals in Canada who do not yet have access to provincial, territorial, or private healthcare coverage.

What the IFHP Covers

The IFHP helps cover a range of urgent dental procedures designed to relieve pain and protect your oral health. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for services such as:

  • Emergency dental exams

  • X-rays

  • Fillings

  • Partial dentures

  • Tooth extractions

In addition to dental benefits, the program also provides access to other medical services, including general health screenings.

If you are unsure about what is covered, our knowledgeable staff will be happy to explain your options and help you understand your eligibility. Please note that the IFHP cannot be combined with private insurance and cannot be used to eliminate a copay from another plan.

To receive coverage, you must provide valid documentation showing your eligibility. You can check which documents are accepted here.

At Sameday Dental, we offer flexible appointment times so you can get the care you need without delay. Our mission is to make high-quality dental care accessible, affordable, and comfortable for everyone in our community.
