Preparing for the New Year – budget for your dental treatment

Let 2016 be the year that you decide to budget and spread the cost of your dental treatment. Capitation schemes are designed to help you spread the cost of your dental treatment by making monthly payments by direct debit to your dentist or an independent company who will run the scheme. It is possible to have either a maintenance or a comprehensive plan. Costs will vary from dentist to dentist and will depend on the health of your teeth and gums.A maintenance plan will offer preventative treatment including a set number of examinations, hygiene appointments and x-rays.
