The standard waiting periods are: 

• 2 months for General Dental services 
• 12 months for Major Dental, Endodontic, and Orthodontic treatments 

However, Bupa may waive these waiting periods if you switch from another health fund where you held equivalent or lower cover within 60 days of your old policy ending, provided you have already served the waiting period. 

To confirm your specific waiting periods and eligibility for Bupa Members First Platinum benefits, contact Bupa directly or check your policy details. 

While post-operative care is an important part of dental treatment, it is likely considered part of the overall dental service rather than a separate benefit. To get the full details on post-operative care coverage, Bupa members should check their specific policy details or contact Bupa directly. 

Bupa Members First Platinum covers wisdom teeth removal, but the coverage details depend on where the procedure happens: 

In a Dentist’s Chair: 

• Waiting Period: Two months before coverage kicks in 
• Your Share of the Cost: You might pay the difference between Bupa’s benefit and the dentist’s fees. 
• No medical costs 

Hospital Admission Required: 

• Waiting Period: 2 months for dentist fees. 
• Waiting Period (Hospital): 12 months for hospital costs. 

Potential Out-of-Pocket Costs: Hospital excess and co-payments might apply if you have hospital cover. Contact Bupa with your treatment plan details for accurate information. 

Any necessary follow-up dental treatments or procedures to address complications would likely be covered under the same extra benefits for wisdom teeth extraction. 

To get the full details on coverage for wisdom teeth removal complications, members should contact Bupa directly with the specifics of their treatment plan and policy details.
