Dental

Dental insurance coverage is not always included in expats' health insurance plans provided by their companies. Even if dental coverage is included, the coverage and standard of care provided is not appropriate for an expat. As a result, many expatriates elect to take additional dental insurance to make up the difference.

As many people have pre-existing dental conditions, insurance plans that provide a dental benefit usually have a waiting period. Dental periods are normally at least 10 months, but speak with one of our advisors to discuss what options would be available to you.
