We provide private dentistry under our Membership Plan which offers a simple, flexible way to pay for your routine maintenance dental care. In return for an affordable monthly payment we provide you with a comprehensive maintenance programme. We promise to clearly state the cost of any additional treatment that you may require in advance.
The Membership Plan encourages prevention and maintenance, putting a much bigger emphasis on treating the cause rather than the symptoms. Patients who attend regularly for examinations and oral hygiene visits are less likely to need intervention in the form of treatment. This means a saving for you.
We believe that the best way of making your routine dental maintenance affordable, without compromising our high quality of care, is to offer you membership of our Plan which provides the following benefits:-
- Knowledge that you are part of our practice with a two-way commitment.
- The convenience of monthly direct debit payments.
- You have peace of mind knowing that you have budgeted for your routine dental maintenance care.
- Regular appointments with the dentist to provide:-
- clinical examination
- screening for oral cancer
- x-rays where clinically necessary
- Regular hygiene visits which help prevent gum disease, bad breath and keep your mouth feeling fresh.
- Early diagnosis of problems.
- A guarantee on dental work for a minimum of twelve months.
- 20% discount off our non-member's fees for any additional treatment you may need.
- Supplementary dental insurance which gives 24/7 worldwide cover in the event of a dental accident or emergency.
- We offer dispensing of emergency antibiotics and pain relief medication during normal surgery hours.
- The facility to spread the cost of expensive courses of treatment using interest free finance for amounts over £300.
- Emphasis on quality preventive care.
A standard adult member receives:-
- Two examinations per year.
- Two hygiene visits per year with either the hygienist or your dentist.
- Any necessary x-rays.
- Comprehensive dental accident insurance, emergency and out of hours cover.
- A 20% discount off our private fee list for any additional treatment you may need.
The cost depends on your membership category:
- Standard Adult £15 per month*
- Adults with ten teeth or fewer £8.50 per month*
- Adults with full upper and lower dentures £40 annually*
- Student (under 23 and in full-time education) £30 annually*
- Children under 18 treated under the NHS
As an additional service we can offer the private dental accident insurance for children at a reduced rate of £12 per year per child.
* A one-off administration fee of £10 is also due with the first payment.
Most members find that paying monthly by direct debit is the most convenient method. There is also the option of paying the total year’s fee annually.
The Practice Membership Plan is not an insurance scheme but we have included insurance to pay for the cost of dental treatment required if you damage your teeth as a result of an accident or need a dentist out of hours or in an emergency.
The cost is included in your monthly payment and the insurance covers you anywhere in the world for:-
- Accidental damage to your teeth as a result of a fall or blow
- Emergency treatment when away from home or out of normal surgery hours
No, there is only one rate for everyone regardless of the problems you may have suffered in the past. You are not assessed on the state of your mouth and you do not have to undertake any expensive courses of treatment in order to be accepted.
Patients with existing private dental health insurance are welcome to join our Plan. The monthly payments and any additional treatment costs can normally be reclaimed twice yearly from your existing private dental health insurer, depending on policy limits.
Simply complete the application form included in our Welcome Pack and return it to the practice, either in person or by post. Then sit back and we do the rest. You can be secure in the knowledge that your dental health is safe with us.
