Our Friendly Dentist Service

You’ll have access to a dental chat service via an online app.  At Silver and Gold level you also have help sourcing emergency dental services. Gold cover includes claims from the Diagnosis Pot for dental trauma because of an impact accident resulting in the need for dental repair.  A great benefit at a time when an NHS dentist is sometimes hard to find. 

 Key features include:

  • Unlimited around the clock access to a dental chat helpline: connect with qualified dentists for trusted advice and guidance. By uploading photos and videos, seek a second opinion and personalised diagnosis and prescription (at an additional cost) within 24 hours. 

  • Expert-led videos on dental health: Tips and best practices to keep their smile healthy, from brushing techniques to lifestyle tips for oral care.

  • Smart educational articles: Easy-to-read articles written by dental experts, designed to give you practical advice on maintaining their oral health.

    Plus - on Gold and Silver policies

  • Symptom checker tool: you can check issues and get guided next steps.

  • 10% discount on cosmetic dental treatments: such as teeth whitening, straightening and at-home oral care kits. 

  • Video call examination: the option to pay for a video examination using any smartphone camera to detect dental issues and problems.

  • Emergency online dental appointments: fast virtual support when urgent issues arise.

  • Help finding in-person emergency treatment: our dentists assist with local clinic sourcing*.

*At Silver and Gold level, our dental team will make reasonable efforts to help you find and arrange an appointment with a local clinic for in-person care. However, we cannot guarantee appointment availability, timing, or acceptance, as these depend on 3rd party clinic capacity and discretion.

Friendly Care when you need personal nurse support

You can use our Friendly Care service if you get a diagnosis and don’t know what to do next. Whether that’s finding a treatment provider or simply being able to ask questions about your diagnosis and what it might mean for you and your family.

Your questions answered

To apply you need to be:

  • Aged between 18 and 60 when the policy starts

  • Living in the UK (this doesn’t include the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man)

  • Able to pay for the policy from a UK bank account

  • Registered with a UK doctor with access to at least the last 2 years of their medical records

No, we won’t ask any medical or health related questions, which makes the application quick and simple, and acceptance is guaranteed regardless of medical history.

This policy is designed to support new medical conditions or injuries which are first suffered after the policy starts, and not things which existed before we agreed your cover.

As part of your claim, we may need to request medical records from your GP. 

This will be arranged by our claims team in coordination with a medical consultant. You’ll just need to pay the excess based on your chosen level of cover, we’ll take care of the remaining costs, up to the annual limits specified in your policy.

If you have Gold cover and need emergency treatment for a dental trauma, you can claim back money for that too, up to your cover limit of £1,500 

You will pay an excess of £25, £50 or £75, depending on your cover level,  plus any amount over and above the limits available from the policy.

The policy also has a range of benefits which are free to use. You may have to pay standard charges for things like prescriptions and listed dental services but this will be discussed in your appointment. 

These are listed in the benefits table above. Some are monetary limits, some are simply limits to how many sessions can be undertaken.

You and your family have free access to our virtual GP service. It’s called Friendly GP+ and it can be accessed over the phone or online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You will also have access to Friendly Dentist+, our dental helpline service that provides a dental chat helpline, and depending on your cover level, emergency appointments, online check-up service and prescriptions.

For silver and gold policies, we also offer Friendly Care which gives access to a private nurse for emotional support, advice and signposting. The nurse is trained to support you through illness or injury.

We’ll give the full details on how you can access the services when you take out a policy, or you can go to our Access Friendly Health page to find out more.

If there’s anything else you want to know, please give us a call on 0333 014 6244 and we’ll be happy to help.
