Dental health is crucial for individuals and couples seeking overall well-being. In South Africa, everyday dental care can be costly, from routine check-ups to fillings and extractions. Including dental benefits in your medical insurance means you’re prepared for planned and unexpected oral healthcare needs. Couples benefit from budgeting together, reducing out-of-pocket expenses, and maintaining good oral hygiene that impacts broader health outcomes.
These benefits are typically part of the day-to-day health cover, which is suitable for couples prioritising regular dental maintenance. Most plans have annual limits or visit caps, making it important to check specifics when considering your options.
Dental problems, if left untreated, can escalate into more serious health issues. For couples managing shared responsibilities, having medical insurance that includes dental benefits:
Statistics show a significant portion of adults in South Africa delay dental visits due to cost. By securing medical insurance that includes dental benefits, couples can address issues at their earliest stage, saving time and money.
Many couples are concerned about affordability when selecting dental cover. The monthly premiums for basic day-to-day plans start around R789 for adults, depending on plan selection. This includes essential dental benefits and may cover both members. Couples should compare these costs to what they’d spend on private dental appointments without insurance.
| Plan Group | Eligibility | Dental Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Range Day-to-Day | Adults | Consultations, cleaning, fillings, extractions (set limits apply) |
| Senior Range Day-to-Day | For seniors | Similar core dental benefits as Standard Range |
Reviewing the combined health plans can also be valuable. These plans bundle day-to-day and hospital benefits, providing broader protection for couples interested in all-round medical security.
Affinity Health maintains a provider network, including dentists across South Africa. When considering a plan, consult the provider search tool to confirm network access in your area.
Remember, hospital plans alone typically do not include dental benefits and focus instead on surgeries or trauma-related care provided during hospitalisation. For everyday dental needs, prioritise day-to-day or combined plan options.
Couples who invest in preventive dental care through day-to-day benefits gain savings on potential major dental work, improved oral health, and peace of mind knowing regular treatment is within reach.
