Dental insurance

With most dental insurance you pay your dentist for any treatment received and then claim money back from your insurer. Dental insurance can cover routine treatment, such as check-ups and dental X-rays, as well as restorative treatment such as fillings.

Dental insurance won’t usually cover you for treatment which has been identified as necessary by a dentist before you joined. It’s important to know what your policy does and does not cover before joining.

What are the main benefits of our dental insurance?

With our dental cover, you’ll be able to see a dentist when you need to without worrying about the cost. Our dental cover is designed to help you maintain a healthy smile, and help to ease the financial concerns of dental treatment.

We offer Core and Premium cover. Our Core cover level covers the cost of NHS treatment, while our Premium cover level offers money back towards private and NHS treatment.

With two choices of cover levels to help flex to your budget and individual needs, our dental cover is something to smile about.

Routine dental treatment

You’ll be covered for routine dental treatments (such as check-ups, dental x-rays and hygiene treatments).

Restorative treatments

You’ll be covered for restorative treatments (such as fillings, crowns, and dentures).

Accident or emergency treatment

You’ll be covered should you suffer a dental accident or emergency, at home or abroad.

Include your loved ones on your plan

You can choose to include your partner on either of our plans. As NHS dental treatment is free for under 18s, you can't add your children to Core cover, but you can add them to our Premium plan.
