ACC Dental Injury Claims at Kelston Dental Care
Does ACC Cover Dental Treatment?
Yes. ACC may help cover the cost of dental treatment if your injury was caused by:
- An accident
- A sports injury
- Dental or medical treatment
If you’ve injured a tooth, filling, crown, bridge, denture, or other dental structure as a result of an accident, you may be eligible for ACC support.
What Support Can ACC Provide?
In most cases, ACC contributes towards the cost of your dental treatment, with patients paying only part of the fee. The amount ACC covers depends on the type of injury and the condition of your teeth and mouth before the accident occurred.
What Should I Do After a Dental Injury?
Seek dental treatment as soon as possible. At Kelston Dental Care, our ACC-registered dentists can assess your injury, provide treatment, and help you complete the necessary ACC claim paperwork.
In many cases, treatment can begin at your first appointment while your claim is being processed.
What Does ACC Cover?
ACC generally does not cover:
- Normal wear and tear of teeth or dentures
- Damage to teeth or dentures caused by eating
- Treatment carried out solely by a dental technician
How Do I Make an ACC Claim?
Our team will complete and submit the ACC42 Dental Injury Claim form on your behalf. If further treatment or specialist care is required, ACC approval may be needed before treatment can proceed.
We will explain all treatment options, expected ACC contributions, and any costs you may be responsible for before treatment begins.
