Costs of dental treatment can leave a nasty taste
You always hope that a trip to your dentist will be straightforward. But here are some examples of what can happen:
Private dentist
You visit your dentist for a routine check-up. You discover that you also require a scale and polish, along with a small filling. This can cost up to £165. With Premium Cover you can claim back 100% of the cost of the check-up (£43) and scale and polish (£45), plus 50% of the cost of the filling (£38.50). So in this example, you would be able to claim back £126.50.

NHS dentist
At a routine check-up you are told that you need a filling and a crown. With Core Cover you would be covered for the check-up as well as the treatment and can claim the £204 cost back in full.
