Essential careplan

This plan is designed for patients who attend the practice regularly and would like peace of mind that your preventive dental care is covered.

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.

With this in mind, we have joined with DPAS Limited to design a comprehensive dental treatment plan. 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 your preventive dental treatment will be covered by convenient monthly payments. Our plan also provides worldwide Supplementary Insurance for dental emergencies or dental injuries whilst at home or abroad.

Who is our plan for?

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.

What does our plan include?

L&H Dental Care key benefits:

  • dental health examinations and hygiene schedule tailored to suit your individual needs
  • routine oral cancer screening
  • 20% discount for any additional treatment from our private fee scale
  • access to our 7 day emergency service
  • membership card with 24 hour helpline numbers for dental emergencies at home or abroad
  • worldwide Supplementary Dental Injury and Emergency Insurance.

The monthly plan cost includes the charges for management and administration payable by you to DPAS.

Treatment not covered by this plan can be paid for separately.

How do you join our plan?

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 £10 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.

What is excluded from our plan?

Although non-routine services are available from the practice, some items fall outside the scope of the plan and are not covered by the monthly payment namely:

  • implants
  • fees for specialist treatment on referral
  • orthodontics
  • wisdom teeth extractions.

Treatment not covered by this plan can be paid for separately.

What happens in an emergency?

You will have access to a 24 hour, 365 day worldwide dental emergency helpline, which will endeavour to find an English speaking dentist to assist you.

What does the Supplementary Insurance cover?

Your Supplementary Insurance provides:

  • cover for: up to £10,000 worth of treatment following dental injury
  • cover for: temporary emergency treatment whilst away from home in the UK or abroad (up to the limits specified)
  • cover for: the call-out fee charged by a dentist opening their surgery to treat you in an emergency (up to the limits specified)
  • hospital cash benefit if under the care of an oral/maxillofacial surgeon
  • cash benefit if diagnosed with oral cancer
  • 24 hour access to a worldwide emergency helpline

The Supplementary Insurance is designed to cover the cost of temporary emergency treatment whilst you are away from home and therefore excludes the cost of emergency treatment carried out by your own dentist, a rota dentist, or any other dentist within a 15 mile radius of your practice. However, call-out fees charged by any dentist to open their surgery (including your own dentist) are recoverable up to policy limits.

In the event of a dental injury, treatment carried out by any dentist (including your own dentist) is covered up to policy limits.

Please refer to the Policy Summary and Important Information leaflet and the Policy for full details of the benefits, terms, conditions and exclusions.
