International Dental Insurance

Expatriate Group offers international dental care, with a range of treatments to maintain good dental health for you and your family.

What is Dental Cover?

Dental cover for expats means those living abroad have the necessary insurance to cover their dental treatment.

International dental insurance plans will include cover for accidental emergency treatment, such as when an urgent extraction is needed. They will also include treatments such as fillings, to repair holes in teeth; crowns, to repair a damaged tooth; and dentures, when false teeth are needed. International dental insurance plans will also sometimes include routine dental care, such as scale and polish, so expats can maintain their teeth without having to pay out of pocket.

What is Dental Cover?

Why is dental cover for expats important?

Maintaining good oral health is extremely important. Routine dental care can help to prevent bigger issues from occurring, and international dental insurance plans can help expats to keep up with their oral healthcare. With the right cover, expats can access quality, private dental treatments, wherever they may be in the world.

International dental care will also ensure expats are covered in an emergency. Restorative dental care can be hugely expensive, especially in certain countries. International dental insurance will mean you and your family will be covered and able to access the best treatment, whenever you need it, to best maintain your oral health.
