How A Dental Membership Plan Can Help You Stay On Top Of Your Oral Hygiene

Visiting the dentist can often be a daunting experience, even without the bill. This experience can also prevent you from visiting the dentist regularly. Luckily, some dentists offer a dental membership plan with some mandatory examinations provided for a fixed monthly fee. 

How does a dental membership plan work? 

A dental membership plan, such as a set with Yorkshire Dental Suite, typically offers options to cater patents with different budgets. Typically, a customer would be presented with a couple of options, ranging from basic to comprehensive plans and what they would entail. 

With a private dental clinic, a dental membership plan can include services such as whitening refills, dental examinations, full cleans and more, for prices less than £20 per month. 

Typically, patients who subscribe to dental membership plans tend to visit the dentist and attend their health checks much more frequently compared to patients who use a pay-as-you-go service. The patient and the dentist will also be able to build a more personal relationship with regular check ups which will slowly eliminate the fear of visiting the dentist. 

Who can benefit? 

Dental membership plans can be tailored to adults and children, whilst also featuring as a family plan option. Family plans encourage the family to go together at a reduced rate, however if you’re under an individual plan, it can benefit you by enabling a payment to be spread across months and reduce the inability to afford regular dental treatment. 

There are other benefits included, depending on your dentist. The most obvious advantage being your oral health is kept in top shape with regular check ups since any issues would be spotted sooner than a pay-as-you-go customer. 

Is it cheaper than a pay-as-you-go option with the NHS?

Depending on the severity of the treatment you’d need, a pay-as-you-go option could be more expensive. As the NHS dental procedures are worked out in bands, you would be able to assess the price difference yourself. 

Yorkshire Dental Suite can provide patients with a wide range of treatments and a choice of dental membership plans to help tailor your dental experience. Get in contact today to get an initial consultation!
