In our commitment to maintaining exceptional customer experiences and the highest clinical standards, we routinely review our pricing structure. If it becomes necessary to adjust the cost of your membership or treatment, we will notify you with at least one month’s notice, detailing the revised monthly payment. These payments will be set up as recurring card payments, processed through Stripe, our selected financial platform.

Payment

Consultations for advice and treatment

A consultation is an appointment to discover and explore opportunities about treatment and the options available. It could be Invisalign, implants or a smile makeover. This may be with a clinician, or treatment co-ordinator. Consultations can also be delivered virtually, from the comfort of your own home. 
No treatment is carried out during these appointments, except for gathering information, such as photos or a digital scan of your mouth. 
A pre-paid consultation fee is a discretionary charge with a clinician for the time to discuss your options and create a treatment proposal following this appointment. If you decide not to proceed with treatment, this fee is non-refundable. If you cancel this appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, the fee is non-refundable.

From time to time, we will offer free consultations for specific treatment options.

Failed Appointments & Late cancellations:

Failure to notify the practice and attend your appointment will incur a £100 charge to your account which will need to be paid before being able to rebook that appointment. This payment covers the loss of chair time and also the clinicians hourly rate.

Any cancellations which fall within 24 hours of an appointment will result in a £50 charge due to the appointment not being able to be filled on short notice. This will need to be paid in order to book further appointments with us.

These charges will be waived if we manage to replace the appointment slot.

Treatment appointments and deposits

To book treatment appointments and initiate treatment plans, we kindly request a deposit, which will vary depending on the treatment you have consented to. This deposit is part of the total treatment cost.

Refusal of treatment

We reserve the right to refuse treatment where our clinicians deem it inappropriate for any reason and the clinician’s decision is final in this regard.

Pricing Policy

Ensuring fair pricing is a cornerstone of our philosophy. We aim to provide you, our patient, with fees that not only offer excellent value but also reflect a fair compensation for our expertise and experience. This commitment is unwavering and extends to maintaining the quality of materials, our environmental responsibilities, and our respect for our dedicated staff and trusted suppliers.

Below, we’ve outlined our approach to achieving this goal.

Fees

We want you to be fully aware of the treatment we are proposing, the reason why we are proposing it and of the fees that you will pay before treatment starts. We also want you to be aware of when your fees will be due, in most cases this will be at the end of each appointment.

In order to ensure full transparency ; we will endeavour to:

  • Display a fee guide on the web site, and make sure it is available on reception.
  • Discuss with you the treatment we think is necessary and the reasons why and provide information leaflets for further information about your treatment.
  • Provide a treatment plan which includes estimated costs for each patient before treatment starts.
  • Provide a new treatment plan with updated fees if the treatment needs to change for any reason.
  • We review our pricing structure periodically and do so on a discretional basis.

Why do we do this? 

We do this to preserve and maintain the standard of our service to our patients.

How can I save money on my dental treatment?

  • Sign up to one of our dental plans; We think they offer great value for patients as the base cost is slightly lower than you would pay normally for your routine appointments, but you also benefit from a member’s price for certain treatment costs, and worldwide accident insurance cover. You can read more about the plans on our web site, (terms and conditions apply).
  • For treatment plans over £1000 we offer you the facility to apply for finance options for over 24 months. Terms and conditions apply.
  • All our treatments are aimed at getting you dentally fit and making your mouth as low-maintenance as possible, to help to significantly reduce your treatment needs in the future.
