Why have we decided to launch a Dental Payment Plan?

Research shows that preventive dentistry delivered on a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of dental disease and provides a platform for a lifetime of improved oral health. We encourage such an approach and with this in mind we have designed our Dental Plan to reward loyal patients. This allows us to plan your dental care more effectively, to provide the best chance of keeping you dentally fit and to reduce your need for future treatment.

When you become a member, you will have the peace of mind that all your preventive dental care will be covered by convenient monthly payments. Our plan also provides worldwide Supplementary Insurance for dental emergencies or dental injuries whilst at home or abroad (see overleaf).

What are the advantages of joining our dental plan?

What Happens In An Emergency?

You will have access to a 24 hour, 365 day worldwide dental emergency helpline, which will endeavour to find an English speaking dentist to assist you.

What Does The Supplementary Insurance Cover?

Your Supplementary Insurance provides:

Cover for:
• up to €15,000 worth of treatment following dental injury
• temporary emergency treatment whilst away from home in the Republic of Ireland or abroad (up to the limits specified within a 25KM radius of the Leixlip Dental Centre.)
• the call-out fee charged by a dentist opening their surgery to treat you in an emergency (up to the limits specified)

Hospital cash benefit if under the care of an oral/maxillofacial surgeon

Cash benefit if diagnosed with oral cancer

24 hour access to our worldwide emergency helpline

The Supplementary Insurance is designed to cover the cost of temporary emergency treatment whilst you are away from home and therefore excludes the cost of emergency treatment carried out by your own dentist, a rota dentist, or any other dentist within a 25 kilometer radius of your practice. However, call-out fees charged by
any dentist to open their surgery (including your own dentist) are recoverable up to policy limits.

In the event of a dental injury, treatment carried out by any dentist (including your own dentist) is covered up to policy limits.

Please refer to the Policy Summary and Important Information leaflet and the Policy for full details of the benefits, terms, conditions and exclusions.
