Dental insurance

Don’t let unexpected dental care costs take a bite out of your savings!

Let dental insurance work for you. Add it to your extended health care (EHC) with core travel coverage to reduce out-of-pocket dental expenses today!

You’ll use dental coverage when you:

  • Need basic services – such as:
    • Oral exams
    • Fillings
    • Oral surgery
  • Major services – such as:
    • Crowns
    • Dentures

Why choose dental coverage offered through AUPE?

  • Get the savings you deserve – with group rates, thanks to your former AUPE membership
  • Lower your out-of-pocket expenses
  • Direct deposit for your claims payment
  • Online records of your claims

To be eligible for dental, you:

  • Must request coverage at the time of applying for EHC coverage
  • Be approved for EHC coverage under the AUPE group insurance plan

You cannot apply for dental under a separate application.

Apply without proof of good health:  you can apply for coverage without proof of good health, as long as we get your application within 60 days of your group insurance coverage end date. 

You can get dental insurance for:

  • You
  • Couple (you + spouse)1
  • You, your spouse, your child(ren)2

You and your dependants must be insured for the same benefits.
