Dental Insurance for Employees

Fulcrum helps employers offer dental cover that’s simple, cost-effective, and genuinely appreciated by staff. With most working adults paying for dental treatment out of pocket - even with NHS access - employer-funded dentistry is one of the few benefits every employee can appreciate. It’s also a highly tax-efficient way to reward your staff.

The Business Case for Buying Dental Insurance

Why dental cover makes sense for employers and employees

Dental care is increasingly private:

Many dentists no longer accept new NHS patients
A growing number are moving entirely into private practice
Patients who still have NHS access often pay top-up charges (fixed bands in England, percentages in Scotland) and additional costs for materials not covered by the NHS

This makes dental insurance one of the few benefits all employees can realistically use.

Tax and Cost Advantages

Employer-funded dental insurance is highly tax efficient:

Employees pay only a small tax charge on the value of the insurance premium - instead of the full cost of treatment from take-home pay
Premiums you fund are tax deductible as a business expense

Simple, Practical Benefits

Quick and easy to claim
Clear explanations and jargon-free product summaries
Plans aligned to dental costs in different parts of the UK

Did you know?

Some dental plans cover pre-existing dental problems and guarantee 100% reimbursement – even in central London, where treatment costs are highest.
