Spread the cost of oral care and enjoy guaranteed appointments with our easy and convenient dental plans.
Dental plans in the UK make it easier and more manageable to pay for your oral care. With one monthly payment, you can cover the cost of regular check-ups, hygiene appointments and more, with the peace of mind that you’ll always be able to see your clinician of choice.
Private dental care plans offer a number of advantages:
With regular monthly instalments, you’ll know exactly what’s coming out of your account.
As a plan patient, you’ll always have access to a private dentist, so you receive the treatment you need at convenient times.
With regular care, your dentist and hygienist can spot any problems before they become more complex and costly to treat.
A dentist will tell you if you’re ready to start a dental plan. If you’re new to a practice, you’ll have an initial examination to assess your general oral health and establish the level of care you need. This will determine how often you’ll be seen and what your monthly payments will be.
We’ve partnered with Denplan, the UK’s leading provider of dental payment plans, to offer the following options to our patients:
- 1 dental check-up per year
- 2 hygiene appointments per year
- up to 10% off selected treatments
- 2 dental check-ups per year
- 2 hygiene appointments per year
- up to 10% off selected treatments
- 2 dental check-ups per year
- 4 hygiene appointments per year
- up to 10% off selected treatments
Remember that a single monthly Direct Debit replaces the need to pay at each visit, helping you plan ahead and avoid unexpected costs.

You’ll always see your first-choice clinician, giving you the reassurance that your dental health is in the safe hands of someone you know
As a plan patient, you’ll receive priority access to more convenient appointments at the start and end of the working day.
Oral care doesn’t start and end with dental plan check-ups and hygiene appointments. Here’s how to maintain your health after a meeting with your dentist[4].
Aim to brush your teeth twice each day for around two minutes each time, using a fluoride toothpaste.
Flossing before you brush fights against gum disease and tooth decay, by taking care of the gaps between your teeth that regular brushing can miss.
Using small, interdental brushes alongside your regular brushing and flossing, is an effective way to prevent plaque build-up.
The monthly cost of your dental plan will vary depending on where you live and the frequency of visits your dentist recommends.

In the UK, private dental insurance and dental plans can both help you cover the costs of care.
However, a dental plan may be a better option for routine appointments, since they usually focus on maintaining your oral health.
In contrast, dental insurance might prove a better choice when planning for larger, more complex treatments.
It’s easy to find details of dental practices near you, plus the monthly plans they offer. Simply head to our practice search tool and type in the name of your city or postcode.
You can see each practice’s dental plan options on its own page.
If you’d like the security of a certain number of check-ups or hygiene appointments with your dentist each year and don’t want any surprise bills for them, a dental plan can be a good option. It also gives you guaranteed access to your preferred clinician, rather than joining an NHS waiting list and potentially seeing someone different every time.
Yes, you can sign up for children’s dental plans to spread out the costs of routine check-ups. These tend to work in a similar way to adult plans, with regular monthly payments and a focus on maintenance.
