So, what exactly does dental complication insurance cover, and how can it benefit international patients? Let’s take a closer look.
What does dental insurance cover?
Dental complication insurance covers post-treatment complications that arise within a specified period. The insurance policy provides coverage for necessary corrective treatments, allowing patients to have their concerns addressed within a 6-month period for most treatments and within a 1-year period for implant procedures.
This coverage is regulated by the health ministry, which has outlined specific complications that fall within this timeframe. As a result, this policy is not determined by individual clinics but follows official healthcare regulations.
In addition to complication insurance, Dental Harmony Turkey also provides a 5-year warranty on its treatments. This means that if any issues arise due to the treatment performed at the clinic, patients are entitled to free corrective care within five years. The only exception is composite treatments, which come with a 1-year warranty.
To keep the warranty valid, patients are required to visit the clinic for a check-up at least once a year. This ensures that any potential concerns can be addressed proactively, helping maintain the best results for long-term dental health.
Are complications from dental treatments covered by insurance?
Yes, dental complication insurance covers unexpected issues that occur after treatment, provided they fall within the insurance policy’s defined timeframe. If a complication arises within 6 months for general treatments or 1 year for implant procedures, the insurance will cover the necessary corrective treatments up to a specified limit.
Additionally, Dental Harmony Turkey offers its own 5-year warranty on treatments. Within this period, patients can receive free check-ups, and if any complications arise due to the treatment itself, they will be addressed at no extra cost. However, for the warranty to remain valid, patients are expected to return to the clinic for a check-up at least once per year.
This dual layer of protection—complication insurance and a long-term clinic warranty—provides patients with reliable post-treatment support and peace of mind.
Can I add complication coverage to my existing dental insurance?
Complication insurance is separate from standard dental insurance policies and is provided by an external insurance company. While some dental insurances may cover minor post-treatment issues, full complication insurance is typically purchased separately.
At Dental Harmony Turkey, patients benefit from two types of post-treatment protection:
A 5-year warranty for treatments.
Complication insurance, which is offered through a third-party insurer and covers unexpected medical complications within the specified timeframe.
Does dental insurance cover emergency treatments abroad?
Complication insurance policies are designed to cover medical treatments related to complications but are typically valid only in Turkey. If a patient experiences an issue after returning home, minor follow-up treatments may be covered under certain plans, but major corrective procedures often require the patient to return to Turkey for coverage.
Dental Harmony Turkey assists international patients in navigating their post-treatment care, ensuring that any complications are handled smoothly. Patients can consult with the clinic remotely to determine whether a follow-up visit is necessary.
Is there a waiting period before complication coverage becomes active?
No, complication coverage is active immediately after the procedure is completed, provided that the treatment was performed while the insurance policy was in effect. There is no waiting period, meaning that if a complication arises within the first days or weeks after treatment, patients can immediately access their coverage benefits.
This ensures that patients receive timely medical intervention without delays, reinforcing Dental Harmony Turkey’s commitment to patient care and safety.
What Is Dental Complication Insurance and What Does It Cover?
Dental complication insurance is a safeguard for patients undergoing procedures such as implants, crowns, veneers, extractions, and root canals. It provides coverage for unexpected medical situations that may arise after treatment, such as:
- Healing complications after an implant procedure
- Infections that require medical intervention
- Issues related to the fit of prosthetic teeth or implants
- Necessary adjustments following a surgical tooth extraction
The goal of this insurance is simple: to ensure that patients can receive the required follow-up care without financial concerns.
