This section provides a comprehensive overview of the Scheme approved Dental Benefits Management, its activities and principles.

SHSB is responsible for the management of dental benefits, claims, pre- authorisation and enquiries.

Dental benefits are divided into three main categories consisting of:
• Basic dentistry
• Specialised dentistry
• In-hospital dentistry

In-hospital and specialised dentistry requires pre-authorisation which is obtainable directly from SHSB - failure to pre-authorise either in-hospital or specialist dentistry may result in rejection of claims.
