The top 5 benefits of joining Denplan

1. Spread the cost of your dental care

We offer two different plans to suit every budget, both of which are based on a fixed monthly fee.

Denplan Care covers you for all your routine dental treatment. This includes check-ups, hygiene appointments, x‑rays, fillings, extractions and periodontal treatment. The only additional fee you will have to pay is laboratory fees on crowns, bridges, inlays and dentures.

Denplan Essentials covers you for all your preventative dental treatment. Including check-ups, x‑rays and hygiene appointments.

With a fixed monthly fee, it is easy to budget for your ongoing treatment and avoid any nasty surprises. Both will also cover you when you are abroad, so you don’t have to worry about the cost of accessing dental care when you are overseas.

2. Preventive oral health advice

At each appointment, the dentist or hygienist will be able to offer help and advice on the best oral hygiene routine to follow in-between appointments, to ensure that your teeth are kept in tip-top condition. 

90% of patients agree that being with Denplan makes it easier for them to look after their oral health. When you know that your dental checkups and hygiene cleanings are already paid for, you’re much less likely to miss an appointment. This means that you’ll be able to make the most of our ongoing support to help keep your smile looking healthy and beautiful.

3. Reduce the risk of extensive dental treatment

Being covered for your routine dental appointments will ensure that any problems are identified early, therefore reducing the risk of needing extensive dental treatment. Patients are much less likely to skip checkups when they are able to spread the cost of their treatment. And once you’ve paid for it, why would you miss it?

When it comes to dental care, prevention is always better than cure, so committing to regular checkups is one of the best ways to protect yourself against dental problems.Your dentist will also be able to keep a close eye on your teeth and spot changes in your oral health much better if they see you more regularly.

4. Access to 24 hours worldwide Dental Emergency Helpline

This means no matter where you are – on holiday or away on a work trip – you’ll be able to access our dental emergency helpline. If the worst should happen, the Denplan team will be on hand 24 hours a day to help. 

They will endeavour to find you a dentist to help get you out of pain and back on the go. You are also covered for up to £10,000 worth of treatment following a dental injury, ensuring that your smile can be put back to its best.

5. Ideal for the whole family

You can sign up the whole family for Denplan and save. If more than one family member joins Denplan, and their membership is paid for with the same direct debit, you will be able to receive a discount on the monthly costs. 

Denplan gives you the peace of mind, knowing that your entire family’s dental health is protected. Denplan is suitable for patients of all ages, from young children to seniors. And it doesn’t matter if you have pre-existing dental conditions.
