2026 benefit guide · confirm your current option with the scheme
Transmed dental benefits, in plain language
Transmed’s options do not all use the same dental administrator. Select and Guardian use the DENIS dental tables; Link’s basic dentistry uses the Universal Healthcare network. The exact option name therefore matters before applying any benefit or limit.
Select allows two routine consultations per year, while Guardian allows one. Their specialised family limits are R5,900 and R5,090 respectively, subject to procedure limits and authorisation. Select has a qualifying orthodontic benefit; Guardian does not.
Link provides one annual consultation and preventative/general examination through a Universal network DSP, plus listed basic procedures under its protocols. Its separate denture benefit is one set per family every two years, limited to R4,900; ordinary specialised dentistry and orthodontics are not listed benefits.
AIM Dental is at AIM Healthcare Centre in Malanshof, Randburg. Reception can help with a treatment quote; your scheme confirms cover for your option.

We claim directly from medical aids. Bring your card and option name, ask for a written treatment quote, and confirm current benefits, authorisation requirements and any expected co-payment with your scheme. A benefit check does not guarantee final claim payment; you remain responsible for amounts your scheme does not pay. We quote before we treat. If a network rule applies, ask your scheme to confirm this practice’s eligibility for your option and treatment.

- Pre-authorisation and clinical/code rules apply to larger treatment and admissions.
- A tariff-funded benefit and an approved claim are not a guarantee that every invoiced amount will be paid.
