Fees and Dental Plans
This is a list of some of the most common treatments which we provide for adult (18 years and over) patients, and an approximate guide to their cost, which can be quite variable. Denplan membership benefits are also shown for comparison.
It is not intended to be an exhaustive list since many treatments are tailored to individual patient needs and it is best to ask the dentist treating you for an estimated cost of your treatment. This guide to fees is valid until 31st December 2006.

Payment Methods
We accept payment by cash, cheque or card (credit or debit) but many of our patients prefer to be members of Denplan. This is a dental health insurance scheme suitable for all family members, offering private care for regular monthly payments. Please ask at reception for further details.
Missed Appointment Policy
If, for whatever reason you cannot keep your appointment with us, please call us as soon as possible as there will be many patients eager to have your appointment slot. Patients who fail to keep their appointments without notifying us that they cannot attend will be charged for the missed appointments and repeated failed appointments may result in their being asked to seek their dental care elsewhere.
Suggestions and Complaints
It is practice policy to be always improving the service we offer to our patients. To this end we are keen to hear any suggestions, concerns or complaints that you may have. Please contact the Practice Manager if you have any queries or comments.
