Many people covered by the Social Security system may not be aware of the full extent of their dental benefits or how to use them. This article compiles all the essential information about claiming dental fees through Social Security—including the benefit amount, types of covered treatments, participating providers, and the claim process—to ensure you can make the most of your entitlements.

Social Security & Dental Services at XDC Dental

What is Social Security for dental care and how it works?

Many people wonder, ‘How do I use my Social Security benefits for dental care?’ The Social Security dental benefit is a medical welfare program for insured persons under Sections 33 and 39 who have made contributions for at least three months.

This entitlement allows you to receive basic dental services as many times as needed within an annual limit of 900 THB, without any advance payment required at participating hospitals and clinics. In addition, there is also a separate benefit for claiming the cost of dentures.

Dental Care with Your Social Security Benefits

At XDC Dental Clinic, we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality dental care. That’s why we are proud to be a participating clinic in the Thai Social Security scheme, making it easy and affordable for you to maintain your oral health. Learn how you can use your benefits at our clinic without any upfront payment.

Teeth Cleaning & Scaling

The removal of plaque and tartar to prevent cavities and gum disease.

Dental Fillings

To repair teeth affected by decay.

Tooth Extractions

For the removal of problematic or non-restorable teeth.

Social Security Benefits for Dentures

This is an additional benefit for insured persons, allowing them to claim the cost for dentures. This claim can be made within a 5-year period from the date the dentures were fitted.

Where Can You Use Your Social Security for Dental Services?

You can use your Social Security dental benefits at participating government hospitals, private hospitals, and dental clinics that are part of the Social Security Office (SSO) program. These facilities often display a sign or sticker indicating: “This facility provides dental services to insured persons without advance payment.”

Insured persons can check their eligibility and find a list of participating hospitals and clinics through the official SSO Connect website or application.

Additionally, both the Punnawithi and Srinakarin branches of XDC Dental Clinic provide Social Security dental services, allowing you to use your 900 THB annual benefit without needing to pay upfront.

Documents Required for Dental Reimbursement Claims

For cases where you need to pay in advance and claim reimbursement later (such as for dentures or certain root canal treatments), you must prepare the following documents:

  • The official Dental Benefit Claim Form (SPS. 2-16).
  • A medical certificate from the dentist who performed the treatment.
  • The original, itemized receipt clearly stating the treatments and costs.
  • A copy of your Thai ID card or other valid government-issued ID.
  • A copy of the medical records from the treating dentist (required for claims involving acrylic base dentures).
  • A copy of the first page of your savings account passbook (if you wish to receive the reimbursement via bank transfer).

How to Check Your Dental Benefits Online

You can easily check your Social Security dental benefits using the SSO Connect application.

Simply download the app, register your account, and log in. The system will display your remaining dental benefit balance for the current year. For more information, you can navigate to the “Dental Treatment Costs” menu to view your service history and benefit details.

Alternatively, you can also check your benefits through the official Social Security Office website or by calling their 24-hour hotline at 1506. Regularly checking your benefits will help you plan your dental treatments effectively and make full use of your entitlements.
