Whilst Away From Home Or Abroad

If you are a Denplan patient and would like advice about what to do in a dental emergency, or you need help finding a dentist in the UK, give the Denplan Emergency Helpline Team a call on 0800 844 999. If you arrange emergency treatment, keep the receipt and send in the claim form to Simplyhealth Professionals for reimbursement, up to policy limits. You can find a claim form at www.denplan.co.uk/claimforms.

If you are abroad you can also call the Emergency Helpline Team and they can let you know what kind of treatment you are covered for and offer you advice. Whilst Denplan do not have registered dentists overseas they recommend that you ask your hotel concierge, tour operator representative or any family, friends or colleagues for a recommended dentist in the area.
