We all want to take care of our teeth. Whether you are seen by an NHS or Private Dentist, BDHL can find you a private dental insurance policy that will cover you for check-ups and routine care such as fillings and crowns – and extendable to cover oral cancer care and accident and emergency treatment. Dental insurance can help to protect you against the unexpected and the untimely expenditure of dental treatments.
But why get private dental insurance when you’re covered by the NHS? It’s simple – the NHS does not cover all your dental costs (as it would for medical costs), meaning you will still be expected to pay some amount for treatments. The most basic examinations may cost £18.80, but even a filling can cost upwards of £50 and more advanced procedures – crowns, dentures, bridges, etc. – can sail over £200.
The right Dental Cover offers you and your family the flexibility to have routine check-ups and treatment at a more convenient time, allowing for reduced time off work or missed hours at school. A Private Dental Policy offers advantages:

What’s more, the NHS may only offer certain levels of care for these prices, a common example is the additional cost of choosing a white porcelain filling over a grey amalgam filling.
BDHL can also offer private cash plans to supplement your private dental insurance. Cash plans offer a lump sum whenever medical or dental costs are incurred, even for something as simple as a check-up. Whilst cash plans aren’t suitable as a replacement for private dental insurance, many people stand to benefit greatly from them and BDHL can help make sure you get the best deal when combining the two.
