WPA's Providental plan is designed to save you money whatever treatment you require. So even for routine check-ups, cleaning and filings, you'll be covered for 75% of the costs up to £250 per year. And if you are unfortunate enough to need emergency treatment or suffer a dental injury, the cover is very substantial indeed.
Please note that 25% shared responsibility applies to all benefits (except Hospital Cash Benefits).
