Looking after your teeth and gums is an important part of staying healthy, yet many people only pay attention to their dental healthcare when something goes wrong. In South Africa, dental care can be prohibitively expensive, especially when it comes to emergencies or special procedures. This is where cover from a medical aid like KeyHealth Medical Scheme, which includes dental healthcare benefits, becomes an asset. By offering cover for a wide range of dental services, we help our members manage routine and unforeseen oral health needs efficiently and affordably.
Preventive Dental Healthcare Saves Money and Pain
Preventive dental healthcare, including regular check-ups and cleanings, is key to maintaining oral health and avoiding more serious issues. Without medical aid, many people often skip these appointments due to cost, leading to preventable tooth decay or gum disease. KeyHealth’s dental benefits typically cover these services, encouraging members to take proactive steps to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Early detection of issues means less invasive, less expensive treatment later.
Access to Basic and Major Dental Procedures
KeyHealth provides access to basic and specialised dental treatments. Fillings, extractions, and oral hygiene visits are generally covered either in full or with co-payment, depending on the plan. More complex procedures like root canals, crowns, and orthodontics may fall under managed dental care benefits, often administered through dental networks or designated service providers (DSPs). This ensures quality care while managing costs.
Financial Protection Against Unexpected Dental Emergencies
A dental emergency like an abscess, infection, or broken tooth can be costly. With KeyHealth, members avoid large out-of-pocket expenses, as emergency dental care is typically covered under the hospital benefit or designated emergency cover. This means their urgent needs won’t result in a financial crisis.
Comprehensive Cover To Suit Your Needs
KeyHealth offers several plans to suit different lifestyles and budgets. Members can choose one that includes the appropriate dental benefits for their families, from routine check-ups to advanced procedures. We also partner with DENIS (Dental Information Systems), which manages dental benefits and claims and maintains a network of DSPs, ensuring members receive expert support and access to accredited dental professionals nationwide.
Affordable, No-nonsense Dental Healthcare
Dental healthcare shouldn’t be seen as a luxury. It’s a fundamental part of one’s overall health. With KeyHealth cover that includes dental benefits, members gain access to preventive care, financial protection, and high-quality dental services. It’s an investment in both health and peace of mind.
Quality Over Quantity: KeyHealth’s Philosophy
