Emergency Dental Treatment
Urgent dental problems should be assessed without delay to relieve pain, reduce complications, and protect your teeth. Depending on your level of cover, your Bupa policy may contribute towards the cost of emergency care. We regularly see Bupa-insured patients for:
● Severe toothache or dental pain, persistent or sudden pain that needs diagnosis and relief
● Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth, damage that exposes the tooth and can be sensitive or sharp
● Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges, restorations that have come out and leave the tooth vulnerable
● Dental abscesses or facial swelling, infection that requires assessment and appropriate care
● Infected teeth requiring urgent care, treatment to control pain and protect nearby teeth
● Trauma or damage following accidents, immediate evaluation to stabilise teeth and soft tissues
Emergency consultations, X-rays to assess the problem, and the urgent treatment you need are often claimable, subject to your policy.
How Emergency Dental Claims Work
We keep the process straightforward when you need urgent care.
1. Contact the practice for an emergency appointment
2. Attend for prompt assessment and treatment
3. Settle your bill with the practice on the day
4. Receive a full itemised invoice and treatment breakdown
5. Submit your claim to Bupa for reimbursement
Our reception team issues invoices and supporting documents promptly to help with your claim.
Other Dental Treatments Commonly Claimed
Alongside emergencies, many patients can reclaim for other private treatments, depending on their Bupa policy:
● Routine dental examinations, regular check ups to monitor oral health and spot issues early
● Hygiene and periodontal treatment, professional cleaning and gum care to reduce plaque and inflammation
● Fillings and restorative dentistry, repairing cavities and strengthening worn or damaged teeth
● Crowns and bridges, restoring function and appearance where teeth are broken or missing
● Root canal treatment, saving a tooth by treating infection within the root
● Dental implants, policy dependent, small precision-made titanium posts that act as biocompatible foundations for new teeth, with carefully planned placement for comfort and stability
● Invisalign® and orthodontics, higher tier cover, clear aligners that straighten teeth with a planned, discreet approach
Please confirm eligibility and allowances with Bupa before treatment.
Claiming Emergency Dental Treatment
Many emergency treatments can be claimed through Bupa, depending on your policy terms. Most policies typically include allowances for:
● Emergency dental examinations, an urgent assessment to find the cause of your symptoms
● Pain relief treatment, measures such as dressings or advice on medication to settle discomfort
● Temporary or definitive restorations, immediate repairs or full restorations to protect a tooth
● Urgent root canal treatment, treating an infected nerve to relieve pain and save the tooth where possible
● Emergency extractions, removing a tooth when it cannot be restored and is causing acute symptoms
You will usually:
● Pay for treatment on the day
● Receive a detailed invoice from our practice
● Submit the claim directly to Bupa
Reimbursement is determined by your policy limits, any excess, and your remaining annual allowance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Bupa approval before an emergency appointment?
In most urgent situations, you can be seen without prior approval. We provide the paperwork you need afterwards so you can submit your claim to Bupa promptly.
Can I attend if I’m not registered with Square Mile Dental Centre?
Yes. Many patients see us for one-off urgent care. You do not need to be an existing patient to book an emergency appointment.
What happens if Bupa only partially reimburses my claim?
Reimbursement depends on your individual policy limits and allowances. Our itemised invoices clearly show what was provided, so you can discuss any shortfall directly with Bupa.
Can I use my Bupa dental insurance if I work in London but live elsewhere?
Yes. Bupa cover is not location-specific. As long as your policy includes the treatment provided, you can submit a claim regardless of where you live.
