Capitation

We have joined with DPAS Limited to design a comprehensive dental treatment plan. This plan will be administered by DPAS who will make a separate arrangement with you to manage your payments under the plan. The plan will provide advantages both to you and us. It will allow us to plan your dental care more effectively and provide the best chance of keeping you dentally fit. The advantage for you is that it should reduce the need for future treatment and you will have the peace of mind that your dental treatment will be covered by convenient monthly payments. Our plan also provides Worldwide Dental emergency Assistance Scheme for dental emergencies or dental injuries whilst at home or abroad. You must be dentally fit to be accepted onto this dental plan.

Your benefits:

• All your routine dental treatment is included
• Payment by convenient monthly Direct Debit, allowing you to budget
• Guaranteed registration with the practice and continuing access to your dentist
• Early identification of dental problems to prevent pain, discomfort and inconvenience
• Appointment times to suit you whenever possible
