OUR PRACTICE PLAN
From 1st November 2019 we transferred from SimplyHealth (Denplan) to our own practice-branded plans. Being a member of one of our dental plans is a great way to look after your oral health and allows you to budget for your dental care.
The benefits to you:
-
Allows you to spread the cost of your dental care rather than having unexpected or large payments;
-
Convenient payment by monthly direct debit;
-
More cost effective than private pay-as-you go treatment;
-
Encourages preventive dentistry – meaning you could be less likely to need additional treatment due to any problems being caught early;
-
Reduces the risk of oral disease and dental decay due to regular examinations;
-
Provides cover for accidental damage to your teeth and emergency treatment when away from home or outside of normal hours.
What our Dental Plans include:
Our Basic Membership Plan is suitable for patients who have a high level of oral hygiene and a minimal sugar diet, as well as a low level of dental treatment previously. Any occasional dental treatment required for plan members on this plan will be provided with a 15% discount off our private fees.
