Paying for your Dental Care

Denplan

Denplan Care is a payment plan which allows you to make a fixed monthly payment to cover your dental treatment and avoids the worry of unexpected expense. This includes:

• regular consultations including x-rays
• preventative care including hygienist visits
• routine treatment such as fillings and extractions
• advanced restorative treatment such as root canal therapy, periodontal (gum) treatment, crowns, inlays, bridgework and dentures (excluding laboratory costs)
• additionally, the Supplementary Insurance that Denplan arranges on your behalf covers you for dental accidents and emergency treatment out of hours, meaning that your teeth will be taken care of at all times.
