Health insurance explainedThere are generally four main sub-categories of dental treatment:
- Preventative dental, which includes examinations, scale & cleans, and custom mouthguards.
- General restorative dental, which includes simple fillings and extractions.
- Major dental and implants, which includes complex treatments for repairing or replacing teeth such as crowns, root canals, dentures and bridges.
- Orthodontics, which covers treatments that straighten teeth such as braces and retainers.
It’s worth choosing cover that matches the treatments you’re likely to use.
