The UK traditionally have been a population of denture wearers, until the 1990’s when patients looked for better solutions for their missing teeth.

Whilst addressing the issues for denture wearers implant were and remain an expensive alternative option with standard dental insurance available usually excluding cover for dental implants.

In 1999 we designed a specific and bespoke protection for dental implant patients and since then we have worked with major insurers, CIGNA Healthcare and Europ Assistance and some smaller bespoke insurers to offer patients an insurance cover to protect the investment they have made in their smile.

The Dental Insurance Partnership Ltd was incorporated in March 2006 (having previously traded as Implantology Services Ltd) and our company registration number is 05734966.

The Dental Insurance Partnership Ltd is also regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and our registration number is 565072

Benefits

Dental Implants are the most expensive dental treatments and whilst most dentists will claim success rates over 90%:

  • Implants do fail
  • The treatment guarantees provided by dentists are usually NOT backed by anything other than the dentists WORD – so if the dentist retires, moves or dies the guarantee is worthless
  • Similarly if the dentist advises that there is a 5 year guarantee – it is invariably solely on the implant – so if your implant fails the implant manufacturer provides the dentist with another implant, but does not cover the cost of the required remedial treatment.

So the key benefit is that if your implant fails or loses integration or you suffer a blow to your mouth that damages your implant or attached prostheses, the policy will pay for the required remedial up to the maximum limit of indemnity – £2,500 per implant

In 1999, we designed specific and bespoke protection for dental implant patients.

Since then we have worked with major insurers, CIGNA Healthcare and Europ Assistance and some smaller bespoke insurers to offer patients an insurance cover to protect the investment they have made in their smile.

What it covers

If your implant fails or loses integration or you suffer a blow to you mouth that damages your implant or attached prostheses, the dental policy from the Dental Insurance Partnership will pay for the required remedial work up to the maximum limit of indemnity – £2,500 per implant.

Dental implants fill the gap of missing teeth. The treatment is a two phase procedure.

Surgical
  • The dentist places a titanium screw/post into the gap left by the missing tooth.
  • Titanium is the only metal that grafts/integrates with human bone.
  • Over a period of a few months the implant integrates with the patients jaw and establishes a rock solid platform onto which the dentist can place the restoration (crown, bridge).
Restorative
  • If the implant has integrated sufficiently to provide a stable base the dentist restores the implant with the appropriate prostheses – the crown or bridge or denture supported by implants.

How to insure your Dental Treatments

Each implant and attached prostheses (crown, bridge) is covered up to £2,500 (maximum limit of indemnity).

If you have more than 1 implant the limit of indemnity increases x the number of implants you have, for example if you have 2 implants the cover will increase to £5,000.

Policy summary

If the implant has not integrated sufficiently for the restoration (placing the crown on top) the implant is usually removed and replaced with a new implant.

Or if the implant was to lose integration (for example if you have an abscess) the policy will meet the remedial treatment cost of removing the implant, replacing with a new implant and restoring the implant with a new crown or bridge.

In addition the policy cover “Extra-oral Trauma” and impact from outside the mouth that damages you’re the implant or attached prostheses (crow, bridge or denture)

Our cover meets the remedial treatment costs up to the policy indemnity to get you back into the position prior the integration loss or failure or accident

  • The cover is worldwide with a nil excess.
Annual premium
  • Implants placed less than 12-months ago – £80.00 including insurance premium tax @12%.
  • Implants that have been in situ for longer than 12-months – £65.00 including insurance premium tax @12%.
  • If you have more than 1 implant the annual premium increases x the number of implants you have.
