Denplan
At Mearns Dental we strive to deliver the highest standard of dental care in an affordable, modern approach. To help us with this we partner with Denplan, part of Simplyhealth, the UK’s leading dental payment plan specialist, who enable us to put a focus on preventative care and provide the dentistry that our patients want, without any unexpected bills.
A Denplan payment plan is tailored to you. There is no reason to pay for work you don't need. Why would you? With a dental payment plan from Denplan, we project what treatments you are likely to need. What this means to our patients is that they pay a low cost, fixed monthly fee which covers them for all routine treatments using modern materials at no extra costs. That means no more weighing up white vs silver fillings because of cost difference, instead we just use the best material for the clinical situation.
We offer two Denplan memberships at our practice:
Denplan Essentials - our maintenance plan. Which is a lower cost plan and covers patient for their routine dental checkup, X-rays, preventative advice and up to 4 hygiene visits. If any additional work is then require Essentials patients will receive a 20% discount off the cost.
Dental Care - our comprehensive plan. Which covers patients for all routine treatments including checkups, X-rays, hygiene visits, fillings, root canal treatments, extractions etc. The only fees that would be due on this plan are the lab cost of prosthesis (crowns, dentures etc - see our fee guide section for details), the cost of referrals for specialist services if required, or cosmetic treatment (although we do offer a discount on this - see our fee guide section for details).
We are also proud to work with Denplan because of the support they provide to our patients via worldwide dental insurance. So if you suffer from any form of dental emergency abroad you can contact the Denplan support team who will arrange an appointment for you at their nearest clinic.
