Interest-free loans*
We aim to make the financing of your dental treatment as flexible as possible for you and to help you to spread the cost of your treatment we offer interest-free patient loans from £5OO upwards.
For example, a treatment plan costing £1OOO would cost just £1OO per month on the interest-free patient loan when spread over l0 monthly payments.
To apply for a loan you simply need to complete an interest-free patient loan application form. A member of the team will fax the form to the lending company. Usually the loan amount is authorised within 30 minutes. You will need to complete a Direct Debit instruction form for the appropriate monthly amount. It is as simple as that.
We are pleased to offer this additional service to our patients, helping to make private dental treatment more affordable and accessible to everyone. Please ask at reception for more information.
