Have you heard of dental plans? At our dentist, Liverpool Smile Studio, they operate almost the opposite way round to insurance. Rather than paying premiums and having to send an application to your health insurance provider, you join our surgery and a small monthly payment allows you treatment in the future as and when you need it!
At our surgery, oral health plans are broken down into multiple tiers. Allowing patients who are likely to require significant reconstruction to still take part in our clinic’s memberships, without these costs being unduly placed on patients who would require less invasive treatment. Let’s try to explain these plans and work out which one is the best fit for you.
Registering with the clinic and levels of surgery membership
The first step is registering with the clinic. Even if you choose not to pursue care with us, it is important to make sure that you register with your local clinic. This is vital to access any treatment for a potential dental emergency, not being registered with a dentist could lead to a long wait in A&E.
Standard membership is our most popular option. It covers the fundamentals of the majority of patients. It includes 2 standard check-ups and two hygienist treatments, as well as guaranteed access to emergency slots at our dentist Liverpool. If you need urgent treatment, you can be seen within 24 hours, plus you receive a 20% discount on all treatments and routine X-rays free. You will be pre-approved for 0% finance on all treatments, allowing anything that occurs outside the standard membership to be broken down and managed over a longer timescale.
Bonuses outside of the clinic
The standard membership gives you free, worldwide, emergency call-out insurance, as well as dental trauma insurance. So you can attend any clinic nearby safe in the knowledge that your bill is covered when you’re overseas.
Complete membership
The full membership contains all of the advantages of the standard packages. But the cost is a bit higher. The small increase in cost opens up extractions, fillings and crowns, allowing significant reconstruction to be carried out under the membership.
Do you need treatment not covered by the membership?
For any treatments not covered under the membership, you are pre-approved for payment plans treatment. You can still break up the costs with zero interest payment plans on any treatment over a set limit, which can be discussed with our team. This is subject to a credit check status, but if you’re already part of a membership, approval is extremely likely.
Applications can be made either online or in our clinic. Online applications have the advantage of making sure that you are fully accepted before engaging in any treatment. If you do have any issues with the online application, our clerical staff will be happy to help, and can complete the application on your behalf in the surgery. Allowing that to be completed before you begin your assessment for any planned treatment.
Regardless of whether your needs are clinical or aimed at meeting an aesthetic goal, you don’t have to let your current financial limitations stop you from pursuing the treatments that allow you to be your very best, thanks to our dentist Liverpool at the studio.
