• Crowns: Crowns, which are used to restore damaged teeth, will require preauthorization.
• Root Canal Re-Treatments: Additional root canal treatments for previously treated teeth will be included.
• Dentures: This includes removable partial dentures, overdentures, and immediate dentures.
• Major Surgical Procedures: Complex surgeries, including procedures on gums, jaws, and other oral tissues.
• Sedation and Anesthesia: Moderate sedation, deep sedation, and general anaesthesia for dental procedures are covered upon approval.
