DeCare Dental Insurance, Claremorris-based dental benefit management company, has introduced its dental insurance service in Northern Ireland, in a bid to continue expansion in the country.

Northern Ireland is a new region, but high level of service and customer care similar to members of DentalCover.ie website, which provides product information and oral health advice, will be provided to the customers, according the company.

DeCare general manager Maureen Walsh said the introduction of products and services to both individual and corporate customers in Northern Ireland represents natural progression of the company’s business.

”Our commitment is to provide high quality, affordable dental insurance products with dedicated local support and oral health expertise,” Walsh added.

DeCare Dental Insurance is a subsidiary of WellPoint, a US health benefits provider, and provides dental insurance services to more than 45,000 members across Ireland.

The company has also relaunched its Irish dental insurance service under the name dentalcover.ie, in collaboration with VHI Healthcare, in June 2012.
