DENTAplus supplementary dental insurance

Dental treatment can quickly become expensive. Basic insurance generally only covers accident-related tooth damage, and even then, it will only do so where the damage is not covered by any other form of insurance. With DENTAplus, you receive contributions towards dental treatment, teeth cleaning and orthodontics plus a range of other benefits. It’s worth taking out at any age:

• For children: dental health begins the moment their first tooth comes through. Supplementary insurance for children contributes towards the costs of prevention (treatment of cavities), orthodontics and other dental costs. Tip: if you take out dental insurance before your child’s third birthday, you can take out supplementary dental insurance without a medical examination. What’s more, no exclusion of benefits applies.
• For young people: supplementary dental insurance for young people contributes towards the costs of orthodontic treatment such as braces. Wisdom teeth may also be an issue from this age onwards.
• For adults: dental insurance for adults helps to reduce the cost of dental hygiene, fillings and root canal treatment. It also covers orthodontic treatment in adulthood.
• For older adults: dental insurance covers you in later life against the high costs of dentures and other dental work, such as implants, crowns and bridges. 

Remember that acceptance depends on the current state of your dental health. Taking out insurance early on can help you avoid problems in the future.

No. A waiting period of six months applies from the start of insurance. That means that the earliest you can claim benefits is six months after taking out DENTAplus. The date of treatment is what counts. 

DENTAplus is valid worldwide. For dental treatment abroad, you will receive benefits up to the amount you would be reimbursed for the same treatment in Switzerland. This is provided that the dentist has undergone dental training equivalent to that completed by dentists in Switzerland.
