Dental payment plans and optional insurance
OUR ASSESSMENT
Compare both the practice contract and any insurance add-on. A plan may be useful for predictable routine care, but the emergency insurance has its own triggers and limits and should be assessed separately.
Features to compare
- Denplan Care and Essentials are dental payment plans arranged through participating practices, with different included treatments.
- Optional Dental Emergency and Injury Cover and an Implant Upgrade are provided by Simplyhealth Access.
Limitations and checks
- A payment plan is not the same arrangement as a general reimbursement insurance policy.
- Denplan Care's stated restorative benefits exclude laboratory fees; the practice agreement determines the included treatment.
The question to ask
What treatment and laboratory charges remain payable, and which optional insurance benefits have I actually selected?
