Interest-free credit

Anyone over the age of 18. You don’t have to belong to a private dental plan. You don’t even have to be a regular visitor to this practice.

You can apply for a payment plan for each course of treatment, subject to the usual credit application.

This will be refunded either to you or to the lender, who will then reduce the outstanding balance on your account.

Firstly, we will tell you of this situation when it becomes imminent. Secondly, you can choose to have an additional facility to cover the additional costs.

We are pleased to be working with specialist 0% finance provider, Dental Finance. The process to set up a plan is very easy. You complete a straightforward application form, the plan is set up, and monthly payments are then collected from you by Direct Debit.

Once you’ve agreed on a course of treatment – and a cost – with your dentist, we’ll make the credit application on your behalf. As soon as this has been approved and then processed, you’ll receive written confirmation from the credit provider. Simple as that.

Your dentist or designated members of the practice team will be able to go through the various terms with you and agree on the most suitable repayment period.

With Buckden Dental Clinic’s 0% facility, you pay the cost of your dental treatment – no more, no less. Interest-free means just that. In terms of the low-cost facilities, you are provided with a quotation that shows the monthly payment and the total interest payable over the term of the loan.

Much like any other loan facility, you repay them in affordable monthly payments over an agreed term. The payments are collected by Direct Debit.

Depending upon the facility you can borrow, typically, between £350 and £50,000. This will be subject to an ‘on-site’ credit application. Most patients’ applications are approved there and then, so you can go ahead and schedule treatment immediately.

Much like any other loan facility, you repay them in affordable monthly payments over an agreed term. The payments are collected by Direct Debit.

You can use the payment plans to pay for most dental work, but they’re particularly suited to more costly private treatments, such as dental implants, orthodontic, aesthetic or cosmetic work. If you’re not sure whether they’re right for your treatment, please ask your dentist.
