Our aim is to provide high quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment. Our clinicians are committed to continuing post graduate education and keeping abreast of advances in modern dentistry, in order to maintain the high standards our patients have come to expect from us. Research shows that preventive dentistry delivered on a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of dental disease and provides a platform for a lifetime of improved oral health.
We encourage such an approach and with this in mind we have designed our dental plan to reward loyal patients, allowing us to plan your dental care more effectively, to provide the best chance of keeping you dentally fit and to reduce the need for future treatment. When you join the plan, you will have the of mind that all your preventive dental care will be covered by convenient monthly payments.
Our plan also provides a Worldwide Dental Assistance Scheme for dental emergencies or dental injuries, whilst at home or abroad.

What Happens in An Emergency?

Most importantly, you will also have access to a 24 hour, 365 day Worldwide Dental Assistance helpline, which will endeavour to find an English speaking dentist to assist you.
If either an adult or a child patient receives a blow to the face or jaw, we would always recommend you contact your dentist before casualty, if no other life threatening injuries have occurred, as your dentist has the specialist knowledge required to deal with injuries to the mouth, teeth and gum areas which may not be available on a visit to the hospital.
