DENIS manages dental benefits on behalf of POLMED.

Dental benefits are divided into Conservative Dentistry, Specialised Dentistry, and Hospitalisation/Anaesthetics.

Please refer to the POLMED dental benefit tables below for a summary of the dental benefits offered by your selected benefit option.

  • Conservative dentistry is also known as basic or routine dentistry. It involves the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of tooth and gum diseases as well as the repair of defective teeth.

    The following treatments and procedures form part of conservative dentistry:
    • Consultations
    • Oral hygiene, i.e. scale and polish
    • Fillings
    • Intra-oral and extra-oral X-rays
    • Root canal treatment
    • Extractions
    • Plastic dentures

    Please refer to the POLMED dental benefit tables below for the specific conservative dental benefits applicable to your selected benefit option.

  • Specialised dentistry (also known as advanced dentistry) involves the replacement of teeth or the repair of badly damaged teeth in cases where a filling (conservative dentistry) would not be adequate.

    • Crowns & bridgework (*Pre-authorisation required)
    • Orthodontics (*Pre-authorisation required)
