Benefits Spotlight

The University offers a voluntary dental scheme for staff which covers preventative and restorative treatment, with the flexibility to visit any dentist of your choice and a simple claims process.

With cover from Unum Dental, you can claim back the cost of important dental treatment such as check-ups, hygienist visits, fillings, crowns, and dental implants – up to the limits shown on the Radiant Extra benefit schedule. This helps you to maintain the oral health for you, and your family.

Our annual membership window to join the dental plan is open until Wednesday 24 June at 23:59. Plans start from £17.56 per month, with increasing annual benefit limits based on the level you sign up to.

For more information about the dental scheme, including the costs, levels of cover available, and how to join, please visit the Dental Scheme SharePoint page.
