Dental Insurance

Dental healthcare is very expensive in most countries. Many expatriate companies do not offer their employees proper dental coverage, and a large majority of companies do not include any dental coverage. This is a major reason why expatriates decide to add international dental insurance to their medical insurance plan.

There are two different types of coverage for international dental insurance:

Routine Dental Treatment

Benefits for this plan include:

• Examinations
• Cleaning
• Fillings
• Root Treatment
• Emergency Dental Treatment
• Surgery
• Prescriptions
• X-rays
• Local Anesthesia
• Occlusion Bar

Special Dental Treatment

Benefits for special dental treatment plans cover all of the above and:

• Tooth Adjustment
• Bridgework
• Treatment of Gingivitis
• Root Scaling and Membrane Treatment
• Gold Jackets, Porcelain Crowns, Temporary Crowns, Gold Inlay
• Dentures

Pre-existing conditions will usually be covered by an international dental insurance plan, but most likely, a waiting period of 12-24 months will be enforced.
