Oral health is a crucial part of overall wellness, affecting both quality of life and long-term health outcomes. In Durban, many residents struggle to access quality dental services due to cost barriers. Conditions such as tooth decay, gum disease, and dental emergencies are common-but with reliable health cover, you can manage routine care and urgent needs without financial stress. Affinity Health addresses the demand for affordable dental cover with practical options for Durban’s diverse population, from students and young professionals to families and retirees.
Basic dentistry cover typically provides for the most frequent oral health costs, including:
This level of cover ensures Durban residents can address common dental issues early-potentially avoiding more serious (and costly) problems later on.
Without access to affordable dentistry, South Africans are at higher risk for avoidable pain and complications. Regular dental visits lower this risk and improve long-term oral health.
| Feature | Day-to-Day Plan | Hospital Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Dental check-ups | Included (basic dentistry network) | Not included, except for hospital admissions |
| Routine fillings | Covered annually up to limit | Not covered |
| Emergency dental surgery | Excluded | Covered if admission is required |
Most dental care needs in Durban fall under the day-to-day plan benefits, while hospital-related dental procedures are rare and typically linked to accidents or severe conditions.

Affordable dental cover is essential for:
Many South Africans delay dental visits due to cost, but with Affinity Health’s budget-friendly plans, you can access private services when you need them. For children, regular check-ups and early intervention prevent suffering from tooth decay and pain. Older Durban adults benefit from timely management of oral issues that may affect nutrition and general health.
Affinity Health’s affordable cover options offer:
Even the lowest-cost covers include annual benefits for basic dentistry (subject to annual benefit limits or visit caps). Read more about cover for kids on the Junior Cover page.
When comparing options, note that cover for complex dental procedures (crowns, bridges, orthodontics) is typically not included in basic plans. These products are designed to help with routine care and emergencies.
