Fees and Payment Options

Fees

Pay as you go

Quite simply pay for treatment as detailed on our ‘List of Fees’ above.

Insurance

There are many companies that now offer dental insurance; we are able to provide itemised statements that are accepted by all main health insurance providers.

Paying for treatment

After your first dental examination, we’ll agree on a treatment plan and give you a written estimate for the cost of your treatment. Please don’t hesitate to ask for an updated estimate during your treatment. Payment for treatment may be either at the first visit or in instalments as treatment progresses. We welcome payment by cash, cheque with banker’s card, credit or debit card, and we also offer interest-free loans for more extensive treatments. If you’re worried about the cost of dental treatment or find anything about our charges difficult to understand, please speak to one of our receptionists, who will do all they can to help.

Missed appointments

We try to avoid charging patients for a missed appointment and make every effort to fill the cancelled slot. However, if there is less than 24 hours notice and we are simply unable to fill the space, we reserve the right to levy a missed appointment fee of up to 50% of the fee for that appointment.

We are happy to give customers a reminder ‘courtesy call’ 24-48 hours before an appointment is due. Many of our existing patients find this service very useful. In this way, there are fewer missed appointments, which benefits everyone!
