MEDISAVE CLAIMS FOR DENTAL PROCEDURES

WHAT CAN MEDISAVE BE USED FOR?

Eligible Dental Treatments

Our Medisave funds can be used for a range of surgical dental treatments at AllSmiles Dental, including:

• Dental Implants: A surgical procedure to replace missing teeth.

• Wisdom Tooth Surgery: The removal of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth.

• Surgical Removal of Retained Roots or Fractured Teeth: Procedures to extract teeth fragments or roots left within the gum line.

• Gum Surgery (Frenectomy): Surgery to remove or adjust the frenulum within the mouth, which can improve dental health and function.

Non-Eligible Dental Treatments

It's important to note that Medisave cannot be used for non-surgical, cosmetic, or aesthetic dental treatments. These include:

• Tooth extractions that do not require surgery.

• Non-surgical root canal treatments.

• Orthodontic treatments, such as braces or Invisalign.

• Prosthetic dentistry, including dental crowns, bridges, and dentures.
