FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

What cover do I need for wisdom teeth surgery?

This will depend on where the wisdom teeth surgery is taking place.

Wisdom teeth surgery in a private hospital

If you’d like to go to a private hospital to have your wisdom teeth removed, you’ll need:

• hospital cover that includes Dental surgery and;
• extras cover that includes general restorative dental

The reason you’ll need both hospital and extras cover is because hospital cover will help cover the cost of your hospital stay (like your accommodation and theatre fees), while extras cover will help pay for your dental surgeon’s fees.

Wisdom teeth surgery in a dental practice

If your wisdom teeth extraction takes place in a dental practice, you’ll need general restorative dental included in your cover to be able to claim benefits for the procedure.
