What is Dental Cover?
Dental Cover is a health insurance policy that is designed to assist you and your family in funding the high cost of private dentistry.
It provides a solution for all, non-medical aid (private) and medical aid members, to fund their dentistry treatment costs. Surprisingly, even if you are a medical aid member, most medical aid options do not cover dental treatment costs in full. In other words, you would have to carry these shortfall costs personally.
Zestlife offers you two options
Comprehensive Cover: Provides funding for a comprehensive range of dentistry treatment costs. High-stated cover amounts* are provided to fund in part or whole, the actual costs of dentistry, emergency, accidental, illness-related and specialised dental treatment.
Core Cover: Provides more affordable funding for frequently incurred dentistry treatment costs. This option pays lower stated cover amounts* to fund in part or whole, the actual costs of dentistry, emergency, accidental and illness-related dental treatment costs.
The table below contains the dental claim events that are covered and the benefit amounts covered.
