Dental Care Coverage

To be eligible for our optional dental care coverage, you'll need to be enrolled in one of our Extended Heath and Vision care plans. However, if you chose to decline dental coverage with your initial application, you can apply within 31 days of spousal or other alternative dental coverage terminating, along with proof of coverage loss.

Oral Health

Our dental coverage encourages you and your dependants to proactively manage your oral health through basic preventative and restorative treatments (e.g. check-ups, X-rays and cleanings). Plus, the Enhanced* and Core plans cover major restorative dental work (e.g. bridges and crowns) and orthodontic treatments (e.g. braces and appliances). You can find your plan details on your ASEBP ID card on My ASEBP or the My ASEBP Mobile App. 

*Note: the Enhanced dental plan requires you to maintain a minimum level of Single coverage for one year before choosing the Core plan; however, you can increase from Core to Enhanced at any time. If you cancel your dental plan, reapplication will be permitted only if you have lost alternate coverage and apply within 31 days of the loss with proof of the loss. Dental fees in Alberta are not regulated. Learn more about what this means and how it affects your out-of-pocket costs by visiting Dental Fees.

Dental Predetermination

You should discuss any proposed basic or major restorative treatments with your dentist to understand both the cost of the treatment and to determine if a proposed treatment plan (dental predetermination) is needed. To avoid surprise out-of-pocket expenses, we recommend having your dentist submit a dental predetermination in advance of any proposed treatment, especially if the cost is $800 or more.
