Does SHA cover tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction may be considered for cover depending on your scheme rules, clinical need, and approval process. Simple extraction and surgical extraction may be treated differently. If you have pain, swelling, or a broken tooth, confirm cover before treatment so there are no surprises.

Does SHA cover braces or implants?
Braces and dental implants are often treated differently from urgent pain-relief procedures because they may be considered orthodontic, cosmetic, or elective depending on the policy. Some schemes may not cover them, while others may offer partial support under specific conditions.
Braces
Ask about orthodontic cover before starting. See braces in Nairobi.
Dental Implants
Implants are advanced tooth replacement procedures. See dental implants in Nairobi.
Cleaning and Fillings
Preventive or restorative care may have different limits. See all services.
