Accident cover

ACC registered dentist in Christchurch

We are an ACC-registered provider, so we can help if you have injured your teeth in an accident. Whether it happened at home, at work or playing sport, we can help with your ACC claim and provide the treatment you need.

What does ACC cover?

ACC may cover part of the cost of dental treatment after:

  • Accidents: slips, falls or other accidents that damage your teeth or jaw
  • Sports injuries: dental injuries from contact sports
  • Workplace accidents: injuries to the teeth or jaw at work
  • Assault or trauma: injuries caused by an external force

How it works

  1. Assessment: come in as soon as possible after the injury so we can assess the damage and whether it is likely to be covered
  2. Claim: we can lodge your ACC claim for you, or work with an existing claim
  3. Treatment plan: once ACC has processed the claim, we explain your treatment plan and any costs ACC does not cover
  4. Treatment and recovery: we restore your smile and oral health

Already have an ACC claim?

Just bring your claim details to your appointment and we'll take care of the rest. If you have injured your teeth, don't delay treatment. Get in touch and we'll see you as quickly as we can.

Common questions

Do I need to lodge the claim myself?+
No. We lodge it for you at your appointment. If you have already seen a doctor or hospital about the same accident, bring your claim number.
Does ACC pay the full cost?+
Usually not. ACC contributes a set amount towards accident-related dental treatment and there is normally a part-charge. We will quote you clearly on your share beforehand.
How long do I have to claim?+
Claims should be lodged as soon as possible after the accident. Cover for treatment on an old accepted claim can continue for years, so it is worth asking even if the injury was some time ago.
