Insuring your smile

Insuring your smile

Insurance is designed to assist you financially when disaster strikes, and dental health insurance follows the same principle. Without it, common dental events can be cripplingly expensive.

Petrol costs are rising, food prices are astronomical, and many of us are being forced to compromise in other areas, too. A number of medical schemes have significantly reduced their dental benefits to basic dentistry, which means that if you suffer an abscess or chip a tooth, you will face huge medical bills that will have to come out of your own pocket. If you have recently downsized from a comprehensive medical plan to a more cost-effective and simpler hospital plan, you’ll need a dental policy that covers you for all types of dental procedures. Given the current financial climate and the high cost of dental treatment, the option of insurance for your dentistry costs is increasingly becoming a necessity.

Now, Denis Dental Insurance provides comprehensive dental cover, at excellent value, for the treatments you and your family are most likely to need. These include cavity fillings, extractions, and braces for children. Denis offers the expertise of 10 full-time dental practitioners – based in different countries around the world – who have spent a great deal of time investigating how best to insure their clients’ teeth.

Financial cover is one thing, but over and above this, Denis provides an ongoing clinical information programme, Smile, which gives you the information you need to manage your own risk. It’s good to know you are covered for that possible root canal, but let’s face it: you’d rather avoid having it in the first place! That’s where the Smile programme spreads a little magic: this personal educational programme is activated at times when you need information, for example when you interact with your dentist or insurer.

And did you know that Denis Dental insurance pre-pays treatment? Once a dental professional has made a diagnosis, and before any treatment commences, the benefit is paid out to the insured, based on the treatment plan or pathology report. The insured is then armed with funds by the time treatment is rendered, and this claim payment can also be used to cover travelling expenses or other expenses related to the treatment event. For further information about the clinical nature of the policy, simply call 08610 SMILE.

Denis Dental Insurance is underwritten by Channel Life, so your risk is in good hands. With more than 1.5-million lives under their management, you can be sure that the Denis administration system will process your claims promptly and efficiently.
