NEWBEGIN DENTAL PRACTICE COMPLETE CARE PLAN

Our aim is to provide high quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment. We are committed to continuing education and keeping abreast of advances in modern dentistry. To ensure we maintain the high standards our patients have come to expect it is becoming increasingly important for us to accurately match the number and the needs of our patients to the resources we have available. With this in mind, we have joined with PPD Limited to design a comprehensive dental treatment plan. This plan will be administered by PPD who will make a separate arrangement with you to manage your payments under the plan. The plan will provide advantages both to you and to us. It will allow us to plan your dental care more effectively and provide the best chance of keeping you dentally fi t. The advantage for you is that it should reduce the need for future treatment and you will have the peace of mind that your dental treatment will be covered by convenient monthly payments. Upon joining the dental plan, you will also be eligible to request assistance from the Global Dental A & E Scheme for dental emergencies or dental traumas whilst at home or abroad.

YOUR BENEFITS

• all your routine dental treatment is included
• payment by convenient monthly Direct Debit, allowing you to budget
• guaranteed registration with the practice and continuing access to your dentist
• early identifi cation of dental problems to prevent pain, discomfort and inconvenience
• appointment times to suit you whenever possible
• priority booking in the event of a dental emergency
• eligibility to request assistance from the Global Dental A & E Scheme

HOW DO YOU JOIN OUR PLAN?

All you have to do is complete a registration form for us and a Direct Debit mandate and authorisation form for PPD. In addition to your fi rst monthly payment, an initial registration fee per person will be payable by you to PPD and will be included in your first Direct Debit payment. If you choose to leave the plan for any reason you can do so by simply giving us one month’s notice.

WHO IS OUR PLAN FOR?

Our plan is designed for patients who wish to attend the practice on a regular basis and have peace of mind that their routine dental treatment is covered.

• all hygiene appointments including scale and polish and periodontal advice
• all x-rays

• all crown and bridge work (excluding lab fees)
• extensive preventative advice including diet and oral hygiene advice
• eligibility to request assistance from the Global Dental A & E Scheme.

WHAT IS EXCLUDED FROM OUR PLAN?

Although non-routine services are available from the practice, some items fall outside the scope of the plan and are not covered by the monthly payment namely:

• cosmetic dentistry
• referrals to specialists

Treatment not covered by this plan can be paid for separately.

HOW DOES THE Global Dental A & E Scheme WORK?

Whilst a member of the dental plan, should you suffer a dental trauma, a dental emergency or be diagnosed with oral cancer you will be eligible to make a request for assistance from the Global Dental A & E Scheme. The Scheme responds to such requests on a wholly discretionary basis. This means that, whilst the Scheme aims to provide benefi ts in most cases, the Scheme has no obligation to provide any benefi t unless the Scheme Manager (the person appointed to administer the Scheme) fi rst decides (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the Scheme should provide a benefit. There are some circumstances in which the Scheme is not designed to help (these situations being similar to exclusions under an insurance policy) and these are explained in more detail in the Global Dental A & E Scheme Handbook. The Scheme Manager will look at each case individually to assess the request for a benefi t. Certain restrictions and limitations may apply in the event that your request for assistance is accepted and it is possible that in some cases the Scheme Manager will decide to provide no benefi t. If your request for assistance is accepted by the Scheme Manager you will be eligible to receive benefit payments from the Scheme in the following situations (up to the limits set by the Scheme and published from time to time):

The cost of dental treatment by any dentist up to a maximum of £10,000 for any one incident of dental trauma

The cost of:

• emergency call-outs
• pain relief or emergency temporary treatment

A specified amount for each complete 24-hour period of hospitalisation wholly or partly under the care of a consultant who specialises in dental or maxillofacial surgery

A specified amount if you are diagnosed with oral cancer and this is the primary cancer site.
