Hot Topics
- What is not covered by dental insurance?
- Dental insurance is a good all-encompassing policy, and does not have many exclusions. However, here are a few pointers worth remembering:
- Can dental insurance be incorporated into my private medical insurance policy?
- You will be able to get dental treatment cover within your private medical insurance policy, as long as you are prepared to get a higher level of cover and naturally, pay more than the standard amount.
- Who do I ask for advice on where to buy my dental insurance?
- When you are looking for dental insurance it is well worth doing thorough research – not only to get the cheapest deal but also to make sure that you get the right policy for your needs.
- If I don't make any claims on my dental insurance policy, will I get a discount?
- There is no such thing as a no claims discount in dental insurance.
- Does it make any difference if I buy my dental insurance through a broker?
- Using a broker could save you money when it comes to dental insurance – because they will be able to get a quote from all the dental insurance providers in the UK.
If you need urgent dental treatment then you can arrange the treatment as normal, and pay the dentist for the treatment. You will then claim the cost of the treatment back from your dental insurance company.
The advantage to dental insurance in an emergency situation is that you don't need to worry about the cost of any of the treatment. For example, if teeth need replacing or other cosmetic work needs to be carried out, you may find that you can't afford the cost of the treatment without insurance. With insurance - you can go ahead with all the treatment that's needed.
