Dental insurance in Portugal or elsewhere may be included in your health insurance but this is not always the case. So you have a way to take it out independently for a price that is not very high, which will allow you to treat your oral health properly once you have settled in the country.<\/p>\n

Dental insurance in Portugal: how it works<\/h2>\n

Once you have had a check-up to find out what you and your family’s dental cover will need, you will be able to have simulations carried out by an insurance professional in Portugal or you can do them yourself. This will allow you to discover the offers and find the one that best suits your goals.<\/p>\n

Most insurance companies have networks of doctors that you will need to visit in order for the coverage to work. Don’t worry, the network of dentists in Portugal is very extensive but it is always advisable to find out in advance if you have specialists near you.<\/p>\n

Once you have chosen your dental insurance in Portugal, you will receive a dental health card that you will need to present to the dentist at the time of payment. With this card, you only pay for the part corresponding to the medical act performed. The amounts are defined in advance, in a table agreed between the dental insurer and the dentist.<\/p>\n

As a holder of a dental health insurance in Portugal you will pay much less than an uncovered patient, since you only pay the difference between the cost of the consultation and the cost of your insurance in Portugal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the Portuguese dental insurance market, prices range from 80.00 to 200.00 euros per year, depending on the number of people in your family that you wish to include in your insurance.<\/p>\n

But what if, instead of spending too little, you don’t spend a single euro on your oral health? This is possible if you meet some of the criteria to be part of the group of people who are entitled to the dentist’s cheque.<\/p>\n
