Finance facilities

For treatment plans over £400, we have introduced a facility which allows you to budget for your treatment costs over a 10 month period with interest free credit. For more extensive treatment plans, an Interest Bearing option is available over a 2, 3 or 4 year period.

Emergency Callout - Cover can be provided by any dentist worldwide who agrees to treat you, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. You simply pay the emergency callout charge to the dentist concerned and collect a receipted invoice. This will then be processed through the practice for reimbursement from the insurers and you will be refunded the callout fee, minus the excess, up to the policy limits. This cover is to provide immediate pain relief only; no additional treatment fees can be claimed. You should return to the practice in normal hours for any further treatment required.

Dental Trauma - Cover is provided should you be unfortunate enough to suffer a dental trauma, for example, as a result of a road traffic accident or an accident at home or at work. The insurers will settle the claim up to the policy limits and you will need to pay any relevant excess and shortfalls.

Hospitalisation - Benefit is provided should you have to stay in hospital as a result of dental trauma.

Permanent Facial Disfigurement - Benefit is provided should you be scarred on the neck or face as a result of the accident that has also caused dental trauma, where scarring is still visible after 12 months of occurrence.

Oral Cancer - A payment will be paid upon diagnosis of oral cancer.

Redundancy Protection - Premiums paid for up to one year.

A leaflet giving details of the insurance cover, limits, excesses and exclusions is available at the practice.
