Go to your Account Settings and select 'Insurance'. Enter your insurance provider, plan name, member ID, and group number. This information helps us show you dentists who accept your coverage and provides accurate cost estimates.
We provide cost estimates based on your insurance information and the type of appointment. However, final costs may vary depending on the specific services provided during your visit. Contact your dentist's office directly for detailed pricing information.
If you can't find your insurance provider, you can still book appointments. Many dentists accept patients without insurance or offer payment plans. Contact the dentist's office directly to discuss payment options and out-of-pocket costs.
No, payments are made directly to the dental practice. MyNextDentist helps you find and book appointments, but all billing and payments are handled by the dentist's office according to their policies.
Use the 'NHS' filter when searching for dentists to see practices that accept NHS patients. You can also check the 'Services' section on dentist profiles to see if they offer NHS treatments alongside private care.
NHS dental care is subsidised by the government and covers essential treatments at fixed band prices. Private dental care offers a wider range of treatments, often with shorter waiting times and more appointment flexibility, but at market rates set by each practice.
Most dental insurance plans don't cover purely cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening or veneers. However, some procedures that have both functional and cosmetic benefits may be partially covered. Check with your insurance provider and dentist for specifics.
You can request a cost estimate by contacting the dental practice directly through our messaging system or by phone. Provide details about the treatment you need and your insurance information for the most accurate estimate.
