Bandon Dental Practice Membership Plan

Following recent budget cuts, our patients are no longer eligible for dental treatment under PRSI or GMS. So we have designed the Bandon Dental Practice Membership Plan, which we believe will make it easier for you to maintain good oral health from as little as 40 cents per day!

By visiting regularly on a budgeted plan you could avoid problems and ensure the chance of being fit.

You! If you want to safeguard your smile and ensure long term oral health you need a preventative programme.

Research has shown that members of the population who attend their Dentist and Hygienist regularly have healthier teeth and gums and require less dental treatment than those who do not attend regularly.

It's simple, don't let your oral health fall into a poor state and you could avoid having to pay for treatments (including crowns, fillings, etc). Having regular check-ups included in this plan could prevent problems. Spreading the cost with monthly Direct Debit makes this plan the simplest way to pay for your preventative oral programme.

As an additional benefit, we have incorporated a dental accident and emergency insurance element to give you complete peace of mind.

You are guaranteed a complete and comprehensive package delivering maintenance and prevention including:

• one thorough dental examination per year, including full mouth examination
• two appointments per year for thorough routine cleaning of your teeth
• two dental examinations per year for PRSI/Medical Card patients
• guaranteed same day emergency appointment (Monday to Friday)
• any desensitising agent applications necessary to control sesitivity
• all advice on how to ensure your gums and teeth remain healthy between your appointments
• dental accident insurance cover up to €11,200 per incident (Subject to policy limits)
• 10% reduction in our standard fee scale for all members of our Practice Membership Plan
• 10% reduction off our standard fees for members' children
• special family rates

Then €5.00 per month for each individual child added to your family plan. Children will receive the preventative appointments deemed necessary by their Dentist to remain dentally fit, up to a limit matching the adult offering above. However, young children will not require the same frequency of appointments as adults. Children must be under 18 years of age, at which stage they must join an individual adult plan.

What would happen if you had a serious accident while at home or abroad? Could you afford to pay for potentially expensive dental treatment?

The cost of your dental accident and emergency insurance is included in your monthly payment and it cover you for:

• accidental damage to your teeth resulting from a fall, an accident, a blow or trauma.
• emergency treatment when away from home anywhere in the world, or outside of normal surgery hours.

We do not assess the current situation of your dental health as a prerequisite of joining and you will not have to undergo any expensive treatment programmes to gain membership.

All you have to is complete a registration form and Direct Debit Mandate application to your first monthly payment, a one-off set-up fee of €10 will be charged and will be included in your first Direct Debit payment. The set-up fee is €10 even if you join a family plan.
