Within the membership you have access to the Worldwide Assistance Scheme, pain is defined as emergency treatment necessary to relieve immediate dental pain. Out of hours you can see any dentist at any facility. This means you are not restricted to a select group of practices; you can find a dentist that suits you at a time of discomfort. Out of hours is defined as 6.00 pm–8.00 am, Monday to Friday, and all day during the weekend and public holidays. If you attend a practice other than our practice, you will have to pay upfront and then, following request approval, you will receive your money back, subject to scheme limits. There is an emergency helpline you can call if you need support in finding a dentist: 0808 1698117. As a team, we are dedicated to supporting you through such an event.

If you are away from the practice over a 15-mile radius, you can see the dentist of your choice; you are not restricted to a select group of practices.

If you are abroad and in pain, you can see any dentist at any facility to resolve immediate pain. You would pay for your appointment and request an invoice and receipt and then, when back home, come into the practice and we will support you with requesting your money back. We are here to help you when you need, and Practice Plan will ensure a smooth and speedy process. Patients outside the UK are only covered for the first 180 days.

Please refer to the Worldwide assistance scheme brochure for more information and limits you can request back.

Not right now. Your plan will transfer from Denplan to Practice Plan on a like-for-like basis, and it will carry on exactly as it does now. You don’t need to do anything.

FullCare in its current form is no longer sustainable for the practice, so we’ll be moving away from it over time. You won’t need to make any immediate decisions. At your next examination, your dentist will talk you through what this means for you and the options available. We’ll manage the change carefully, with your individual needs and dental health at the heart of every decision.
