All treatment is offered on a private basis, written quotations are given as part of your Personal Report and Treatment Plan before treatment is started.
We offer many ways to pay for treatment with discounts available for payment in advance for whole treatment plans.
We also offer interest free finance and low cost payment plans.
At Gentle Dentistry we do not want funding dental treatment to be a barrier. Our staff will be happy to discuss any of the payment options with you.
Interest-free and low cost payment plans: your questions answered

Just about anyone over the age of 18. You don’t have to belong to a private dental plan. You don’t even have to be a regular visitor at this practice.
What can I use them for?
You can use the payment plans to pay for most dental treatment.
How much can I borrow?
You can borrow from £500 – £25,000 (subject to credit status).
How do I make the repayments?
Much like any other loan facilities, you repay them in affordable monthly payments over an agreed term. These payments are collected by Direct Debit.
How much will I pay?
With our 0% facility you pay the cost of your dental treatment – no more and no less. Interest-free means just that! In terms of the low cost facilities, we provide you with a quotation that shows the monthly payment and the total interest payable over the term of the loan. There are no hidden costs and no deposit is required!
What are the repayment terms?
Your dentist or designated members of the practice team will be able to go through the various terms with you and agree the most suitable repayment period.
How do I apply?
Once you have agreed on your course of treatment there is a simple one page form to complete. We make the credit application on your behalf and approval is normally obtained within a couple of hours. As soon as this has been approved you’ll receive written confirmation from the credit provider. Simple as that!
Who is the credit provider?
We’re working with one of the most respected credit providers in the business. Ask our team for details.
What happens if my treatment costs more than planned for?
Firstly, we will tell you of this situation when it becomes evident. Secondly, you can choose to have an additional facility to cover the additional costs.
How often can I use the facility?
You can apply for a payment plan for each course of treatment, subject to the usual credit application.
