FAQ on claims handling

If you would like to confirm how much of the cost will be covered by your policy before undergoing treatment, you will need to obtain a cost plan from your dentist and send it to us. We will then send you written confirmation of the amount covered.

Please take note of the waiting periods and coverage limitations associated with your policy.

The majority of our products cover simple dental fillings (amalgam fillings). If you want to have composite fillings instead, you are free to obtain them but we will only refund the price of an amalgam filling. To take the country specific costs for simple fillings in account please ask your dentist to confirm these costs and submit that confirmation with your bill.

Annual check-ups are covered but no preventive treatments (dental clearance, deep cleaning or the like).
