Dental health is a pivotal part of our overall health, so we understand it is important to have coverage for this area.
Newcomer Plan
On the Newcomer plan, you can receive coverage of up to €500 for pain-relieving restorative dentistry including simple fillings and repairs of existing dentures as long as this treatment is performed or prescribed by a dentist.
