Our Child Smile Plan
Our aim is to provide high quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment.
We are committed to continuing education and keeping abreast of advances in modern dentistry. Tooth decay is one of the most common preventable diseases and to prevent it requires a commitment of time and effort.
With the correct habits, there is no reason why your child should not have healthy teeth for life. Research shows that preventive dentistry delivered on a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of dental disease in children and provides a platform for a lifetime of improved oral health. With this in mind, we have joined with DPAS Limited to design a dental plan for children. 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 to us. It will allow us to plan your child’s dental care more effectively and provide the best chance of keeping your child dentally fit.
The advantage for you is that it should minimise your child’s need for fillings and extractions and you will have the peace of mind that all of your child’s preventive dental care will be covered by convenient monthly payments. Upon joining the dental plan, you will also be eligible to request assistance from the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme for dental emergencies or dental traumas whilst at home or abroad – essential cover for the rough and tumble of childhood.

How do you enrol your child onto our children’s plan?
All you have to do is complete a registration form for us and a Direct Debit mandate and authorisation form for DPAS, on behalf of your child. If you choose to cancel your child’s plan for any reason you can do so by simply giving us one month’s notice.

Please note, there is a minimum registration period of 6 months. Should you cancel within this time any discounts applied will be charged in full.
