We are pleased to accept payment by cash, cheque (supported by banker’s card), Switch, Delta, Visa and
Mastercard.
In addition, we can arrange up to 10 months interest-free credit on amounts over
£300.00 (subject to status) and longer periods attracting interest. (Rates vary - please ask for details)
Terms:
Patients paying the full estimated
cost of treatment before the first treatment appointment enjoy a 5% discount.
Other patients are
asked to pay for treatment as it is provided. When we reserve long appointments for treatment we may ask for a reservation
deposit in advance. This deposit is returned as long as the appointment is attended. Treatment involving laboratory costs
may also attract a deposit.
Failed Appointments and Appointments Cancelled at Short Notice:
We try to take a sympathetic view if appointments are unavoidably cancelled through illness or other unforeseen
crises. Generally we ask for at least 24 hours notice of cancellation to avoid charges being raised. Appointments failed or
cancelled at short notice without good reason will result in either a loss of deposit or a charge (currently £100.00
per hour pro rata of time lost). On payment of this charge and an appropriate deposit we will be happy to arrange further
appointments
Practice Registration:
All patients who subscribe to
our
dental plan receive a practice registration card and are registered patients of the practice entitled to world-wide accident and emergency
treatment for as long as their membership continues.
Other patients who attend the practice without
joining a plan receive temporary registration with more limited benefits for 13 months following their examination. If a patient
does not attend for a further examination again within this period their temporary registration may be terminated.
