The best place to start is to check the list of providers located on the Dental Provider List link on the Dental page.

Dentists that do so can then be listed on the Dental Provider List for the CTA Welfare Fund.

Cleaning of teeth (prophylaxis) is covered twice during each plan year. If a
periodontal (CTA4340 – CTA4341) scaling and a prophylaxis (CTA1110)
are performed on the same date, the plan will only pay for the scaling.
Additionally, the plan will not cover a prophylaxis within 30 days of a fullmouth
periodontal scaling.

The plan covers oral examinations, x-rays and laboratory tests that may be
necessary to diagnose a specific symptom.

covered once in a three year period. Allowances for films or other procedures
covered by the plan include the charge of examination and diagnosis. Oral exams
are covered twice per plan year.
