What is Dental Gap Cover?
Dental Gap Cover is a health insurance policy that is designed to assist you and your family in funding the high cost of private dentistry.
Dental Gap Cover provides a solution for all, non-medical aid (private) and medical aid members, to fund their dentistry treatment costs. Even if you are a medical aid member, most medical aid options do not cover their members’ dental treatment costs in full and you would have to carry these shortfall costs personally.
Zestlife offers you a choice of Dentistry Gap Cover options.
Comprehensive Dentistry Gap 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 Dentistry Gap 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.
