is there insurance for cosmetic dentistry

Q. Hello Ive just come across your site on the internet and see that the section for insurance for cosmetic dentistry is under development I am considering having some cosmetic dentistry but I am wondering if you know of any insurance plans that I could take out to help cover the cost which Ive been told will be around £4000

A. Dear S,

In general elective treatment like cosmetic dentistry is not covered for by insurance. The only possible exception would be following an accident (in a car crash for example).

Many practices have other ways to make this treatment affordable. Within my practice we have a number ways to help our patients ranging from interest free over a year to interest bearing over 2 to 5 years.
