Dental Insurance Plans

It is important to have a good private dental insurance plan that will care for you and your whole family's teeth, but which insurance provider's plan should you choose?

There are so many private dental plans on the market that it should be easy to choose one that fits the needs of you and your family. Unfortunately that is not always the case.

Remember the old age saying, "You get what you pay for?" Well, it's true. Choosing the cheapest insurance plan may not always be the best option.

Your dental health is as important as your physical health. Not many people realise that what is going on in their mouth may be affecting their whole body. Periodontal disease, for instance, has a high statistical correlation with debilitating conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even arthritis.

What to Look For in a Dental Insurance Plan

When making your choice of dental insurance provider, think about the options that are most important to you.

Are you looking for private dental cover as an individual or a plan for couples? Perhaps you need a plan to cover the whole family? Did you know that with Dencover you are able to insure up to four adults and four children on a single policy!

Does the dental plan you are looking at restrict you to seeing a named dentist? Are you able to see another dentist if your named dentist has no available appointments? With Dencover you can!

Look at what percentage of your dental treatment, routine check-ups and hygienist visits a policy will cover. Bear in mind that you will also be required to help contribute towards a percentage of the costs yourself. Your chosen dental plans should clearly state the annual claim limits imposed up front.

Check to see if using your local dental surgery in an emergency is an option available to you.

All Dencover's private insurance plans include worldwide accidental cover and worldwide emergency cover.
