A simpler way to pay for routine care

Regular check-ups and hygiene visits are the best way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. A membership plan makes that easier by spreading the cost of your routine care into a simple monthly payment, so you're never put off booking because of a bill.

We offer three plans. Here's what each one includes.

Dental Health Plan: £27.50 a month

Our plan for most adults. It includes:

  • Two examinations and two hygiene treatments a year, or one exam and three hygiene treatments
  • All necessary X-rays and digital photos
  • Free exams for your child, up to and including age 11
  • Up to 10% off additional routine treatment
  • Worldwide accident and emergency cover

Perio Plan: £39.50 a month

For patients who need extra gum care. It includes:

  • Up to two examinations a year
  • Four hygiene therapy treatments a year
  • All necessary X-rays and digital photos
  • Free exams for your child, up to and including age 11
  • 20% off periodontal (gum) treatment and up to 10% off other treatment
  • Worldwide accident and emergency cover

If your dentist or hygienist has mentioned that your gums need closer attention, this is usually the plan we'll recommend.

Kids Plan: £10 a month

For children. It includes:

  • One examination and one hygiene treatment a year
  • An orthodontic assessment, and a referral if needed
  • Oral hygiene instruction and disclosing tablets
  • Topical fluoride as required
  • Up to 10% off routine treatment
  • Worldwide accident and emergency cover

Remember that if a parent is on the Dental Health Plan or Perio Plan, exams for children up to and including age 11 are already free.

Which plan is right for you?

As a rough guide:

  • Healthy teeth and gums? The Dental Health Plan covers your routine check-ups and hygiene.
  • Gum problems, or bleeding when you brush? The Perio Plan gives you the extra hygiene visits your gums need.
  • Children? Join the Dental Health or Perio Plan yourself and their exams are free up to age 11, or choose the Kids Plan for an annual hygiene visit and orthodontic assessment too.

Not sure? Ask us at your next appointment. We'll look at your needs and tell you honestly which plan, if any, makes sense for you.

The benefit of a routine

The biggest advantage of a plan isn't the saving. It's that it keeps you coming back regularly, so small problems are caught early, when they're easier and cheaper to treat.
