ABOUT DENTAL INSURANCE IN SINGAPORE

If you have any questions about the coverage included in the dental insurance plans we provide in Singapore, contact us for a clarification.

Additionally, you can also enhance your medical insurance to include full coverage for dental services such as routine oral examinations including scaling and polishing. Dental treatments or procedures that are more complex such as extractions, root canals, fillings, implants, crowning and orthodontics (braces) among many others can also be covered depending on the level of dental insurance that you have taken up in Singapore.

Even if your dental health is in good shape, buying dental insurance in Singapore will protect you from incurring sudden expenses in the event you need surgery or extensive treatment. Insurance will effectively help you safeguard your finances in the long term.
