Which of my family members are eligible?
Your spouse (or your spousal equivalent) plus dependent children under age 25 are eligible to be enrolled.
Just show your Equity Dental Network access card stating your name and/or your dependents’ names when visiting a dentist in the Network. No savings are available without a valid Equity Dental Network card that includes the patient’s name.

Ask the dental office to explain the dentist’s customary fee and your eligible discount. If you are unsure of whether you received your savings, request a standard dental claim form from the dental office and submit it to memberservices@equitydental.ca (or mail it to us).
Yes, you now benefit from both plans. The Network dental office will first apply your Equity Dental Network discount to the service fee, and the reduced fee will then be submitted to your other insurer for any eligible reimbursement.
​In all cases, you should seek appropriate dental care to resolve the immediate problem. There will be no fee reduction for this treatment. Return to an Equity Dental Network dentist as soon as possible to continue and complete your treatment at the reduced fee.
