Canada Life - Major Dental Services and Supplies
Select, Select plus and Select elite (with dental) plans include coverage for routine dental services and supplies such as oral examinations, emergency examinations, fluoride treatments, some denture maintenance and oral surgery.
These services, however, may not meet all your needs. You can add the major dental services and supplies option to your Select or Select plus plan to cover you and all insured family members for additional major dental services. A 3-month no claims waiting period will apply.
Benefits payable under this option are reimbursed at 50 per cent for eligible major dental expenses, up to $750 per insured per calendar year. The major dental services and supplies covered under this benefit include:
- Crowns and onlays
- Dentures
- Denture-related surgery
- Appliance maintenance
The major dental services and supplies benefit option is only available with your initial purchase. You can't add it later.
