Both the Basic and Premium plans of our Long-term expat health insurance include dental coverage. Dental treatment following an accident is covered from the start with no waiting period, while routine dental treatment is covered up to a plan-based allowance after a 6-month waiting period (€750 on Basic, €1,125 on Premium). Coverage applies only to new dental conditions, not pre-existing ones.

What dental coverage is included in Long-term expat health insurance?

Both the Basic and Premium plans of our Long-term expat health insurance include dental coverage. Coverage falls into two categories: dental treatment following an accident, and routine dental treatment after a waiting period. The allowance you receive for routine treatment depends on your plan.

Is dental treatment after an accident covered by Long-term expat health insurance?

Yes. Both the Basic and Premium plans cover dental treatment following an accident, with unlimited coverage and no waiting period. An accident here means a traumatic episode only, such as falling and chipping a tooth.

How much routine dental treatment does Long-term expat health insurance cover?

After a 6-month waiting period on the policy, you receive a general allowance for routine dental treatment. The Basic plan covers up to €750 and the Premium plan covers up to €1,125. Routine dental treatment includes:

  • Dental inspection and preservation, such as check-ups and cleanings

  • Pain relief treatments, such as simple fillings

  • X-rays

  • Treatment of gums, and operative and gnathological procedures

  • Dentures, including restoration of dental prostheses and the installation of new prostheses, crowns, bridges, and pivot teeth

  • Orthodontic treatment for children aged 17 and under, including appliances to correct the position of natural teeth

Is there a waiting period for dental coverage under Long-term expat health insurance?

Dental treatment following an accident has no waiting period and is covered from the start of the policy. Routine dental treatment has a 6-month waiting period, after which your plan's allowance applies.

Are pre-existing dental conditions covered by Long-term expat health insurance?

No. Dental coverage applies only to new dental conditions that first arise after the policy begins. Pre-existing conditions that were known, treated, or diagnosed before the coverage started are excluded.
