Understand how Acadia’s student dental plan covers major restorative procedures like crowns and bridges, including reimbursement rates and pre-approval requirements.

Yes — dental crowns and bridges are covered under Acadia’s student dental plan as major restorative services. Here's what you need to know:

• 🦷 These procedures are typically covered at 50% reimbursement

• 💰 Coverage is subject to your annual dental maximum, which varies by plan

• 📄 You must submit a pre-treatment estimate (also called a pre-determination) before starting the procedure to confirm eligibility

• 🧑‍⚕️ Your dentist must be licensed in Canada and provide a detailed breakdown of the treatment plan

Tip: If you're planning a crown or bridge, ask your dentist to send the estimate to StudentVIP or Medavie Blue Cross before booking — this helps avoid surprise costs.
