Dental Insurance Coverage in Spain – What's Included & Excluded

Most plans include: annual check-ups, basic cleanings (1-2/year), panoramic X-rays, emergency consultations, simple extractions, and basic fillings. Some also include fluoride treatments and sealants for children.

Included treatments have no extra cost beyond your premium. Discounted treatments have a fixed reduced price (e.g., crown at €150 instead of €400). Always check the tariff sheet before treatment.

Many plans offer orthodontic coverage at discounted rates (40-60% off). Some comprehensive plans include a fixed annual allowance (€500-1,500). There's usually a 6-12 month waiting period.

Most plans offer implants at discounted prices rather than full coverage. Discounts range from 30-50%. Expect waiting periods of 6-12 months for implant coverage.

Generally no. Teeth already needing treatment when you join are excluded. Some plans may cover pre-existing conditions after 12-24 months, but this varies significantly.

Cosmetic treatments like whitening are rarely covered or only partially. You might get a discount (20-30% off) but expect to pay most of the cost yourself.

Children's coverage typically includes: check-ups, cleanings, fluoride, sealants, extractions, fillings, and often orthodontic assessment. Braces may require additional coverage or waiting periods.

With network plans (most common), you must use approved dentists. Reimbursement plans allow any dentist but cost more and typically reimburse 70-90% of costs up to limits.
