Stand-Alone Dental Plan

Pacific Blue Cross has designed this unique plan for BC & Yukon residents who want affordable dental coverage without purchasing a health plan.

The plan has a sliding scale for reimbursement. After a three-month no-claims waiting period and calendar year deductible of $100, it covers up to:

Eligible dental expenses include all necessary services by a dentist or denturist for the care and maintenance of teeth. Specifically, this refers to:

Diagnostic: two recall examinations every calendar year


X-rays: the equivalent of one full-mouth series each calendar year (complete series x-rays are limited to once every three years)


Preventive therapy: topical fluoride applications are limited to twice every calendar year


Restorative dentistry: all procedures to restore natural teeth to normal function using silver and tooth-coloured fillings, and stainless steel crowns


Scaling and root planing


Prosthetic repair services to reline or repair fixed or removable appliances


Routine extractions

Plan rates effective from July 1, 2008 to June 1, 2009.
