Medical aid

How your scheme pays

Your scheme pays its own rate for each treatment, up to your plan's limit for the year. If that rate is lower than our fee, or your dental benefits have run out, you pay the difference.

For what schemes usually cover and leave out, read does medical aid cover dental work.

Cover

What to check with your plan

Scheme rules change every January, so go by this year's plan.

Check-ups and cleaning

Ask which benefit pays for check-ups, X-rays and cleaning, and how many visits a year it covers.

Teeth cleaning: Check-ups and cleaning

Fillings and extractions

Ask whether they are paid from your dental benefits, your day-to-day benefits or your savings.

Tooth-coloured fillings: Fillings and extractions

Gold tooth removal

Some scheme rules exclude gold inlays. If the gold is coming off because of decay or pain under it, ask how your scheme treats the claim.

Google review

I usually hate going to dentists, I always put them off and try to avoid it. However, I couldn’t avoid going this time and was in a lot of pain, this was the most pleasant experience I have ever had with a dentist, despite the amount of pain that I was in, I barely felt the injections and the removal and the replacement of a filling didn’t feel like anything. I wasn’t overcharged, especially with the level of service that I received. I am extremely happy and grateful and this is definitely my go to dentist from now on. I will be recommending this dentist to my friends and family.

Yes, payment is due at the time of treatment, unless we've agreed on something else beforehand.

Usually not. Schemes tend to exclude composite veneers, whitening and other cosmetic work. Repair after an injury may be treated differently, so check with your scheme.
