Why Health Cover Alone Leaves a Dental Gap

The Spanish public health system (SNS) provides very limited dental cover — primarily emergency extractions and basic treatments, mainly for children. Adults receive almost no NHS-equivalent dental treatment. Private health insurance in Spain typically covers dental emergencies only — pain relief and emergency extractions — but not routine care, fillings, crowns or orthodontics.

To access comprehensive dental treatment in Spain without paying full private rates, you need either a standalone dental insurance policy or a health insurance plan with a full dental add-on. Most expats in Spain either pay dental bills out of pocket (expensive) or take out dedicated dental insurance (cost-effective for regular users). Our full guide to dental insurance in Spain and what the public system covers sets out exactly which treatments the SNS pays for and what private treatment costs.

What a Generali Dental Policy Covers

Generali dental insurance in Spain is available at two levels:

Basic Dental Cover

  • Annual check-ups and X-rays
  • Scale and polish (hygienist)
  • Simple fillings (composite and amalgam)
  • Simple extractions
  • Emergency dental treatment from day one

Comprehensive Dental Cover

  • All basic cover above
  • Root canals (endodontics)
  • Surgical extractions
  • Crowns and bridges
  • Periodontal (gum) treatment
  • Orthodontics (subject to waiting periods and age limits)
  • Partial dentures and prosthetics
  • Implants (on selected plans)

All dental insurance plans in Spain operate through a network of approved dental clinics. You choose from the insurer's approved dentist network rather than any clinic. Generali has one of the widest dental networks in Spain, with multiple clinics in the Javea, Dénia, Moraira and Altea area.

Add dental to your health insurance: If you already have Generali Salud Opción Premium or EXPAT Medcare health insurance, adding dental cover is simpler and usually cheaper than a standalone policy. Contact us on 966 461 625 to discuss the options.

Dental Cover Cost in Spain

Dental insurance in Spain costs approximately:

  • Basic dental policy: €15–€25/month
  • Comprehensive dental (no orthodontics): €25–€40/month
  • Full dental including orthodontics: €35–€60/month
  • Dental add-on to existing health policy: typically €10–€20/month extra

Dental cover pays for itself quickly — a single crown costs €500–€800 at a Spanish private dentist, and a root canal €400–€600. For anyone expecting regular dental treatment, the annual premium is recovered with one or two procedures.

Getting dental insurance quotes in Spain takes a short conversation rather than a form. We need the ages of everyone to be covered, where you live so we can check which network clinics are within reach, whether orthodontics or implants need to be included, and whether you already hold a Generali health policy the dental cover can be attached to. From that we can tell you the monthly premium, the waiting periods that apply and exactly what each cover level includes, before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dental Cover in Spain

Basic Spanish private health insurance (seguro de salud) does not include comprehensive dental cover — it typically includes dental emergencies only: pain relief and emergency extractions. Full dental treatment — check-ups, fillings, crowns, bridges, orthodontics and implants — requires either a dedicated dental insurance policy or a health insurance plan with a dental add-on. Generali offers dental insurance in Spain as a standalone policy or as an extension to Salud Opción Premium and EXPAT Medcare plans. Contact us on 966 461 625 to compare options.
Dental insurance in Spain costs approximately €15–€25/month for a basic standalone policy covering preventive care and basic treatment. Comprehensive dental insurance including orthodontics and implants costs €35–€60/month. Adding dental cover to an existing Generali health policy is typically €10–€20/month extra — the most cost-effective option if you already have health insurance with us. Most plans have a waiting period of 2–6 months for non-emergency treatment, but emergency dental (pain, extractions) is available from day one.
Dental insurance in Spain typically covers: check-ups and X-rays, scale and polish, fillings, extractions (simple and surgical), root canals, crowns and bridges, periodontal (gum) treatment, orthodontics (subject to waiting periods), and emergency dental treatment. The specific coverage depends on the plan tier. All Spanish dental insurance policies operate through a network of approved dentists — you select a clinic from the insurer's network. Generali has a wide dental clinic network across the Costa Blanca including Javea, Dénia, Moraira and Altea.
Yes — dental insurance in Spain can be arranged using your passport number before your NIE is issued. Once your NIE is issued it can be added to the policy. There is no separate"expat dental insurance" category — the same Generali dental policies are available to expats and Spanish residents alike. We arrange all policies in English with English-language documentation and support.
Dental implants are covered on selected comprehensive dental insurance plans in Spain, typically subject to a waiting period of 12 months or more and an annual or lifetime limit on implant costs. Not all plans include implants — basic and mid-range plans usually exclude them. If implants are a priority, discuss this specifically when taking out a policy. We can advise on which Generali dental plans include implant cover and what the limits are — call 966 461 625.
