Dental Insurance

The SGPS Dental Plan protects students with an affordable, easy-to-use plan for a full 12 months. The main features of the Plan are:

  • SGPS members have their own plan designed for and by SGPS members;
  • The Plan provides for 100% coverage for all basic and preventative services, including one annual check-up and one full consultation with the dentist of your choice (only the first two units of scaling are covered);
  • 75% coverage of minor restorative work;
  • 75% coverage of extractions and oral surgery;
  • 10% coverage of endodontics, periodontics, and major restorative work;
  • The Plan is "open", so that you may visit the dentist of your choice;
  • Maximum benefit is $750 per benefit year.
Please note that the SGPS plan covers silver fillings in molars. If you receive white fillings, they will only be partially covered.

The SGPS offers a dental bursary for items covered at 10%. For more information about the dental bursary, please click here.

The SGPS Dental Plan is an extended health care plan that was originally approved as a student fee in March 1997 and re-approved in the March 2001 referendum. All on-campus SGPS members (Graduate, Law and Theology students) who pay fees (full-time or part-time status) are charged the single coverage fee when registering in September.

Dental Plan Costs

Students registering in January are not automatically assessed the fee, but have the option of enrolling in the Plan(s) during the January opt-in period.

Off-campus students do not pay student activity fees and are not automatically assessed the Health/Dental Plan fee. Any SGPS member not automatically assessed is eligible to opt-in to the Health/Dental plans by contacting the SGPS office directly in September (or January for students registering in January). Students must pay the SGPS activity fee when applying to opt-in to the SGPS health/dental plan.

Please note that due to the time it takes for Green Shield to upload eligible students to their system following the opt-out period, any claims received by Green Shield before mid-October will be rejected. Please do not send claims to Green Shield until mid-October. If this causes you any financial hardship, please contact the SGPS office.
