As part of our improved service to you, we want to be proactive about your dental health and for this reason regular oral hygiene visits are included in our Practice Membership Plan as well as your regular routine examinations. Regular oral hygiene visits are essential to keep your breath fresh and to prevent gum disease. You may have very healthy teeth but if your gums and the supporting structures are not healthy you run the risk of losing teeth and perhaps contracting infections which in turn can cause complications such as heart disease and diabetes.
This combined preventative programme is proven to be the best way of ensuring long term dental health. Over time, patients who participate in a preventative programme of regular exams and oral hygiene visits, such as those offered by our Practice Membership Plan, are shown to have a much reduced need for treatment.
Regular visits will mean:
- Regular cleaning and maintenance of gum health
- Early diagnosis of problems
- Less complex and therefore less expensive treatment
- 2 dental health checks and an oral health screen each year including a mouth cancer screen to ensure all is well
- 2 hygiene visits to prevent gum disease and to keep your mouth feeling fresh
- Any necessary x-rays
- 20% discount on any additional work you may need (including cosmetic treatment)
- Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme
- Priority appointments with same day appointments for emergencies and dental pain
- Facility to spread the cost of extensive courses of treatment - interest free (no discount is available on this option)
- Emergency antibiotics where required
- Out of hours emergency service available
