In addition Bupa DentalChoice provides more extensive cover for preventive treatment and also cover for oral cancer.
Full details of all the benefits of both schemes are available in the membership guides.

Examples include:
- mouth guards
- cosmetic dentistry

- general anaesthetic and sedation
- pre-existing dental injury treatment
- physical contact sports injuries
- surgical implants
- oral cancer excluded on the dental plan scheme

Am I covered for accidental or sports injuries?
If you have an accidental dental injury, even as a result of some sporting activities, you could be covered up to an annual benefit limit. This benefit is subject to exclusions such as treatment relating to pre-existing dental injuries or as a result of physical contact sports (eg, rugby or boxing).

Is my pre-existing dental conditions covered?
