Dental

Dental benefits will be eligible if they are necessary for the prevention of dental disease or treatment of dental disease or injury and reimbursement will be limited to the amount stated in the Provincial Dental Association Fee Guide.

Coverage is divided into four categories: 

  1. Basic services*. 
  2. Comprehensive basic services 
  3. Major services*; and 
  4. Orthodontic services*. 

*Please refer to the Annual Benefit Maximum for more details or the GreenShield benefit booklet, which can be found through your GSC everywhere account.  

Alternate Benefit Clause  

This benefit plan will reimburse the amount shown in the Fee Guide for the least expensive service or supply where two or more professionally accepted courses of treatment are a benefit under the plan. The covered person can choose to have a more expensive treatment performed; however, reimbursement will be limited to the cost of the least expensive alternative.
