Individual Treatment Finance Plans to Suit You
Here at The Essex Smile Centre we treat every patient as an individual and therefore each treatment plan is completely bespoke.
Each treatment is individual to you to ensure that your requirements are met, your dentist will be able to provide an accurate quote and discuss your payment options with you after your initial consultation.
Finance
We offer a range of finance options and membership payment plans because we believe that everyone should be able to benefit from high-quality dental care.
Aftercare
Following successful completion of your treatment we recommend that you join one of our great value membership plans which cover routine maintenance and also insures your new dental work in case of accidental damage.
Membership plans
We realise that the cost of dentistry can be a significant investment, this is why we offer a range of membership plans. Each plan enables you to spread the cost of dental maintenance over the course of a year. A plan will give you piece of mind if having had significant treatment carried out, it will cover you against injury or damage and give you worldwide dental emergency cover. All in all it’s worthwhile considering a private membership plan with us.
Payment Plan
Are you considering dental treatment, but are unsure about the best way to pay for it? If so, you might be interested in the payment plans we offer to fund your treatment.
HOW MUCH ARE THE REPAYMENTS?
Obviously this will depend on the amount you borrow and whether you pay a deposit. Our staff will show you, completely without obligation, the monthly repayments for your particular treatment.
How do I apply?
You will need to complete a simple, online credit application, which one of our staff can help you with. The information is transmitted to the lender immediately and a reply is usually received by return. You can then either sign a credit agreement that we print for you, or have it emailed for you to complete at home.
How much can I borrow?
You can borrow between £750 and £25,000, subject to status. You must be over 21 to apply, and you must have lived in the UK for at least 3 years.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
A deposit is not required, but if you want to pay one and so reduce the amount you borrow, this is completely up to you.
How do I make the repayments?
The monthly payments are collected by Direct Debit, starting one month after you sign the credit agreement, and are subject the usual guarantee from your bank.
When can I start the treatment?
Immediately – as soon as the credit agreement has been signed.
What if I decide that I don’t want the finance?
There is a statutory ‘cooling off’ period of 14 days after signature during which you can cancel the credit agreement with no cost to you. However, if you have started any treatment which would have been financed, you will have to make other arrangements to pay for it.
