It’s that time of year when many people take stock of their finances and start thinking about their budget for the year. A dental plan can be a good way to know exactly what your outgoings will be for your dental needs and means you can spread the cost throughout the year.
Not all dental plans are the same! In many practices dental plans only include routine check-ups and hygiene appointments, but at Westleigh Dental Care our plans offer this and so much more. Our dental plans will cover you for the following if clinically necessary:
- Check ups
- Hygiene treatments
- X-rays
- Emergency appointments
- Restorative treatments including fillings and root canal work* ^
- Extractions*
- Oral cancer screenings
- Provision, repair and maintenance of protheses including bridges, crowns and dentures**
- Worldwide accident and emergency dental protection***
This will give you the peace of mind that should anything go wrong, we’ve got you covered.
You must be dentally fit to join the plan, which means that you must complete any treatment recommended by your dentist first and then the dentist can assess which band you will be eligible for. This is done on a scoring system which is based on your past dental history and your periodontal (hygiene) needs. Children are assessed by age up until they are 16 and then they are classed as an adult.
