I have not signed up. Administration burden is too much for my office, and honestly, I don't trust Sunlife to administer this program fairly.

This is probably more appropriate for the Canada thread but since this discussion was just happening a couple weeks ago here I will post this bit of news. The feds are tweaking the program to get more dentists onboard and let them "try out the program."
Also, apparently around 50% of dentists have signed up already which is considerably higher than the 20-something percent I had previously heard.

The latest change would allow dentists to submit claims on a one-off basis without having to formally enroll as a provider under the program. The change would give providers the freedom to participate without having to register.
Mr. Holland maintains that once they’ve tried it out, they will see how straightforward and simple it is to take part.
But the new process doesn’t address the heart of the dentists’ concerns, because they still have to agree to the same terms and conditions either way, said Canadian Dental Association president Dr. Joel Antel.
