Dental insurance : Tooth whitening cover

Teeth naturally become darker with age. Combined with discoloration from smoking, tea, coffee and red wine teeth can become excessively stained. An increasing number of dentists now offer cosmetic procedures to patients. Tooth whitening and the use of dental veneers are popular. The costs can be high

 

Tooth whitening insurance covers a percentage (typically 40% or 50%) of the costs of specialist procedures, often limited to named clinics.

 

Although a specialist insurance was launched in March 2006 in the Republic of Ireland, there is at present no specialist insurance available in the UK.
