Our aim is to provide high quality care and treatment
in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment.
We
are committed to continuing education and keeping
abreast of advances in modern dentistry. To ensure
we maintain the high standards our patients have
come to expect it is becoming increasingly important
for us to accurately match the number and the needs
of our patients to the resources we have available.
Research shows that preventive dentistry delivered on
a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of dental
disease and provides a platform for a lifetime of
improved oral health.
We encourage such an approach
and with this in mind, we have joined with DPAS
Limited to design a dental plan to reward loyal
patients.
This plan will be administered by DPAS who
will make a separate arrangement with you to manage
your payments under the plan.
The plan will provide
advantages both to you and to us. It will allow us to
plan your dental care more effectively and provide the
best chance of keeping you dentally fit. The advantage
for you is that it should reduce the need for future
treatment and you will have the peace of mind that
all of your preventive dental care will be covered by
convenient monthly payments.
Upon joining the dental
plan, you will also be eligible to request assistance
from the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance
Scheme for dental emergencies or dental traumas
whilst at home or abroad (View more here)
Our plan is designed for patients who wish to attend the practice on a regular basis and have peace of mind that their preventive dental care is covered.
If you have any questions about our plan, please contact our reception team who will be happy to provide further information and guidance.
There is no need for an assessment. Joining is very simple.
All you have to do is complete a registration form for us and
a Direct Debit mandate and authorisation form for DPAS.
In addition to your first monthly payment, an initial registration
fee of £20 per person will be payable by you to DPAS and will
be included in your first Direct Debit payment.
If you choose to leave the plan for any reason you can do so
by simply giving us one month’s notice.

Whilst a member of the dental plan, should you suffer a dental trauma, a dental emergency or be diagnosed with oral cancer you will be eligible to make a request for assistance from the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme. The Scheme responds to such requests on a wholly discretionary basis. This means that, whilst the Scheme aims to provide benefits in most cases, the Scheme has no obligation to provide any benefit unless the Scheme Manager (the person appointed to administer the Scheme) first decides (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the Scheme should provide a benefit. There are some circumstances in which the Scheme is not designed to help (these situations being similar to exclusions under an insurance policy) and these are explained in more detail in the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme Handbook. The Scheme Manager will look at each case individually to assess the request for a benefit. Certain restrictions and limitations may apply in the event that your request for assistance is accepted and it is possible that in some cases the Scheme Manager will decide to provide no benefit.
If your request for assistance is accepted by the Scheme Manager you will be eligible to receive benefit payments from the Scheme in the following situations (up to the limits set by the Scheme and published from time to time):
You will also have 24 hour access to a worldwide dental emergency helpline. Please refer to the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme Handbook for full details. The Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme is operated by Worldwide Assistance Ltd (Company No. 10907861), a company registered in England and Wales. Registered Office: Cambrian Works, Gobowen Rd, Oswestry, Shropshire SY11 1HS. The Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme is NOT an insurance product and is NOT regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
