Hampshire Dentist Practice Membership
What is Practice Membership?
Our Practice Membership Plan offers a monthly affordable and preventative dental plan, helping you to maintain healthy teeth & gums to prolong and enhance your natural smile.
Why Have we Introduced the Practice Membership Plan?
As we hope you have already experienced, we are completely committed to providing all of our patients with the best quality dental care. We want to be able to spend more time with our patients and provide prompt treatment using the latest techniques and only the best quality materials.
As part of our ever improving service to you, we endeavour to be proactive about your dental health. Regular oral hygiene visits are therefore included in our Practice Membership Plan as well as your regular routine examinations. We believe regular oral hygiene visits are essential to keep your breath fresh and to prevent gum disease.
You may have very healthy teeth but if your gums and the supporting structures are not healthy you run the risk of losing teeth and perhaps contracting infections. There are strong links and association to systematic disease such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, premature or underweight babies.
Over time, patients who participate in a preventative programme of regular exams and oral hygiene visits, such as those offered by our Practice Membership Plan, are shown to have a much-reduced need for treatment.
Why Should I Become a Member?
Membership ensures you have access to quality dental care, offers you a simple flexible way to pay for your dental care and is designed to encourage you to visit us regularly. Regular visits will mean:
- Regular cleaning and maintenance of teeth and gum health
- Early diagnosis and prevention of problems
- Less complex and therefore less expensive treatment
Please note that you will need to be considered as having a good level of dental health to be eligible for the membership, this will be confirmed upon examination by the treating Dentist.
