Most Nigerian HMO plans cover general and preventive dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, and basic fillings) as standard. Cosmetic work like whitening or veneers is rarely covered.
Orthodontics is the biggest variable: some plans cover a portion for patients under 18, very few cover adult orthodontics.
The fastest way to know exactly what you're covered for is to bring your member ID to any Snow branch, and our team can verify your coverage before you commit to treatment.
