What Is the Differences Between the Two Programs
The main Dental Hygiene Program at the 28 Vanley Cres. Toronto location has been accredited since 2004 and continues to be accredited by The Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada. (CDAC), Any student attending the Dental Hygiene Program at the 28 Vanley Location are attending an Accredited program.
In August 2026 Toronto College opened another program at an alternat location at 2727 Steeles Ave West Toronto . Since this is a new program it must go under the process of the accreditation before it can be labeled as accredited. The process of accreditation of a program first involves CDAC pre approving a program to start. The Dental hygiene program is then labeled as “Dental Hygiene -pending accreditation program “. Once the initial cohort reaches their last semester the program is again evaluated by CDAC. If successful, the program is then labeled as Dental Hygiene -Accredited Program .
This TCDHA Steeles location Dental Hygiene Program has been pre- approved by CDAC to open in August 2026 and is currently labeled as “Dental Hygiene-Pending Accreditation Program“. The group of students that began their dental hygiene education at this location in August 2026 will be in their last semester in November 2027. The program will then be evaluated by CDAC to establish if the program can then be changed to Dental Hygiene – Accredited Program. If accredited, all students including the ones that joined the program during the Dental Hygiene -Pending Accreditation Program will graduate from an accredited program. If in the unlikely event that the program will not be accredited then the students must pass a clinical exam after graduation to obtain their license. The cost of this exam is Approximately $2000 . TCDHA therefore discounts the Dental Hygiene - Pending Accreditation Program tuition by $3000.
