Independent Dental Healthcare
A personal Dental plan tailor-made for patients needs. A new Dental Plan providing private dental healthcare at affordable prices.
Ivory Care and the Maltings Dental Practice aim to provide the best value Dental plan on the market today, where children are treated free of charge.
WHY INDEPENDENT DENTAL HEALTHCARE AT THE MALTINGS DENTAL PRACTICE?
The Background
The Maltings Dental Practice was established at its’ present site in 1979, with a patient base that dates back to the 1930’s. We have provided a high level of patient care in Grantham for many years.
We have investigated 18 different Dental schemes which are independent of the NHS and in association with Ivory Care we have come up with a new plan that gives the best value yet maintaining the highest standards of clinical care service.
We believe in the provision of preventative Dental Care for the entire family. This plan allows your Dentist to provide the highest possible level of care without compromising on the service we give.
What are the benefits under Ivory Care?
More time allocated to patients for all treatments.
Without time constraints placed on your Dentist, they can spend significantly more time with you than they have been able to previously. This allows for discussion of the larger range of materials and techniques that are available. This is becoming progressively more important as Dentistry improves and modernises. In addition to this waiting times for follow up appointments have been vastly reduced and the practice will also be able to deal with emergencies more quickly and efficiently.
Will I have guaranteed access to continuing and emergency care?
Any patients under this care scheme will have automatic access to continuing care. We pledge that during the working week, in a genuine emergency you will be given an appointment at this practice within a 24 hour time period and any calls received by us at the practice by 9.30am will be seen on the same day. There can be no guarantees of the time of the appointment or Dentist but every effort will be made for you to be seen by your own Dentist. There is also an out of hour’s service provided by the Primary Care Trust.
Private Dental Care. Isn’t that very expensive?
No!
Private Dental Care suggests an expensive product but the Ivory Care plan has been specifically designed to give the best value possible.
Denplan are the market leaders but we believe our plan offers patients good quality materials and service in a cost effective way. We believe that a patients preventative needs should be covered in the plan as described but their items of restorative work should be separate i.e. crowns, fillings etc. A more preventative approach is taken in order to prevent problems arising in the first place. Since the Ivory Care plan is not constrained by the NHS the most up to date materials and techniques can be used and treatment can be started without delay. More Cosmetic restorations are also available.
WHAT ARE THE FINANCIAL ADVANTAGES OF IVORY CARE?
Ability to meet bills by direct debit which allows for easy budgeting.
All regular payments are made by direct debit for ease of payment. Any additional treatments can also be met by direct debit or by the usual method of cash, cheque or credit card at the end of each completed treatment.
Savings on restorative treatment
We believe that patients who enter into a preventative care scheme deserves to pay less for their restorative treatment and therefore will on average by paying 25% less than our private fee scale. All restorations will be guaranteed for one year from the date of completion.
Family discounts
We believe in the provision of Dental care for the entire family. Members of the same family who take out this plan will incur less cost. The total discount for this will be 10% for two members of the same family.
Am I free to chose?
YES!
You may choose the Dentist that you wish to register with. You also have a choice as to which plan you prefer subject to the agreement between yourself and your registered Dentist.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
This plan has been designed so that more emphasis is based on prevention of Dental Disease. There are 3 broad categories of care:
1. Up to 1 check up and 1 Scale and polish per year: £5.46 per month
2. Up to 2 check ups and 2 Scale and Polish per year: £7.30 per month
3. A fully or partially inclusive plan for all treatments. Where there is a wish or need for this plan to encompass more treatment, this can be agreed between yourself and your dentist. Please discuss this with your Dentist. Please note this is not an insurance.
