At The White Bridge Clinic, we have introduced a membership dental plan for all our patients, called Teeth for Life. This plan encourages regular dental appointments resulting in you saving money on your dental treatments, by enabling early detection of dental problems.
How can the Teeth for Life payment plan benefit me?
The membership plan consists of a monthly payment which covers you for all your maintenance needs. This includes dental examinations, dental hygiene appointments, routine appointments, fluoride varnish application and much more.
The Teeth for Life plan recommends and covers you for six monthly dental examinations. This allows for dental disease, including oral cancer, and dental risk factors to be detected at an early stage, often before the dental pain begins.
We take time to ensure our patient leave our practice with dental advice to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Therefore, if treatment is necessary it can be treated more simply, avoiding complex dental procedures and costs.
Preventative Dentistry
We recommend two to four hygienist appointments per year on the plan. The actual interval is decided upon assessing your personal risk factors and requirements. Clinical studies and personal experience demonstrate that if you visit the hygienist regularly you are more likely maintain a higher level of oral care on a daily basis at home. Hygienists offer support to your dental hygiene regimes and will often direct you to the areas in your mouth which may require more attention. This will lower your risk factors for gum and dental disease, meaning you will need less dental treatment requirements in the future.
Early detection of dental disease, through regular examinations and routine radiographs, allows for minimally invasive dentistry to be performed. Minimally invasive dentistry is also known as micro dentistry. In order to preserve your teeth and gums for as long as possible, it is important not to be invasive when treating teeth.
The Teeth for Life plan also includes a complimentary worldwide dental emergency assistance scheme. We hope you never need to use this; however, should there be dental emergency out of clinical hours or whilst you are away from home the plan may help reimburse some of the cost for remedial dental work.
In summary, committing to regular visits as a The White Bridge Clinic member early detection of the dental disease means less invasive treatments, lower costs and longer-term retention of your teeth.
