 Frequently Asked Questions

  • This is determined at your assessment and is dependent on your current oral/dental health and your previous dental history.

    Please note that the monthly fee may increase should your dental health deteriorate (a higher payment category) due to adoption of poor dietary habits or failure to follow our oral hygiene advice, including smoking cessation advice.

    It may be necessary to cancel your membership if the deterioration is severe. There is also likely to be a small yearly inflationary increase in payment. You will be informed in advance of these changes.

    These factors will place you in a specific category for which your dentist has already calculated the fee. This fee is entered in the standing order mandate.
