Do dental plans have waiting periods

Question: Hi, I was wondering if there is any waiting period before i can have dental work e.g crown replacement when i get a purely dental plan?

The conditions that are attached to dental coverage will change with insurance companies. Typically there is a waiting period attached to dental coverage, however, it is important to be aware that there is no standard waiting period for dental coverage, and that you should inquire as to the dental conditions on your plan. Dental plans will usually be attached to an international health insurance policy, and typically cannot be provided as stand alone coverage.

Many international medical insurance plans will provide emergency dental coverage that will protect you should you need dental treatment in the event of an accident. Additionally, many plans will also offer an extra dental benefit that will provide coverage for standard dental procedures including examinations, fillings, surgery, and dental prescriptions. In many cases a policyholder will be offered a special dental plan that includes a higher level of coverage and will protect you against dental disorders such as Periodontitis and Gingivitis.

As dental policies will change between insurance companies and the different plans that they offer, it is advisable that you talk to one of our expert advisers. They will be able to provide a number of options to suit your needs and find plans that offer the coverage that you deserve.
