Using MediSave for Dental Treatments

Maintaining good oral health is integral to our overall well-being, influencing various aspects of health. However, the cost of maintaining our oral health can be a barrier to seeking dental care. This is where MediSave plays a crucial role in lowering dental expenses.

MediSave is a national medical savings scheme to help individuals save a portion of their income for personal or dependents’ hospitalisation, day surgery and certain outpatient expenses. You may read about the full list of MediSave-claimable expenses.

MediSave lowers your dental expenses by up to $1,250 for an implant. For instance, if the cost of the implant is $3,700, you would have lowered your out-of-pocket expense by a third.

MediSave can be used to offset part of the costs of your dental implants treatment.

To utilize MediSave, please use a MediSave Accredited Dental Clinic. True Dental Studio is accredited under the MediSave Scheme and patients can make claims on approved treatments such as implants and dental surgeries.

Who Can Use MediSave?

MediSave is a national medical savings scheme available to all Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents. It can be used to offset healthcare expenses. If there are insufficient funds in the account, your family member’s account can even be utilized to pay for the expense on your behalf.
