Dental Insurance* & Payment Plans – Understanding Your Options
At Bedford Place Dentist, we believe that quality dental care should be accessible and stress-free. Whether you have dental insurance*, an employee-based health care cash plan*, or a dental payment plan, we can help you make the most of your cover. Many patients are eligible for financial support but may not realise it—so we’re here to guide you through the process.
Making Dental Care More Affordable
Do You Have Dental Cover? You Might Not Even Know!
Many people receive dental insurance through their employer but never use it. If you have private medical insurance* or a healthcare cash plan*, you may be entitled to claim back the cost of check-ups, hygiene visits, and even certain treatments.
We work with all major insurance providers and can provide you with the necessary documentation to make your claims hassle-free*.
Understanding Your Dental Cover Options
Dental Insurance
Dental insurance is often part of a private healthcare policy or included in workplace benefits. It typically covers:
Routine check-ups
Hygiene appointments
Fillings and other general dental treatments
Some policies may cover crowns, bridges, and emergency care
We recommend checking your policy details to see what treatments are covered and how to submit a claim.
2. Healthcare Cash Plans
Healthcare cash plans allow you to pay for dental treatment upfront and claim back a percentage of the cost. Providers such as Simplyhealth, Medicash, Bupa Cash Plan, and WPA often include dental cover, allowing you to spread the cost of dental care.
3. Dental Payment Plans
For patients without insurance, we offer flexible dental plans to help manage treatment costs. Our plans can include:
Regular check-ups and hygiene visits
Discounts on treatments
Monthly payment options to spread costs
This is a great alternative if you’re looking for an affordable way to maintain good oral health. Click here to find out more.
