All about us

Denplan was set up in 1986 by two dentists who wanted to offer an alternative to NHS dentistry. They created a system that simplified administration within the dental practice and allowed dentists to spend more time with their patients, focusing on preventive oral healthcare and providing high quality treatment.

The concept behind Denplan allows dentists to charge their patients a fixed monthly fee, based on the condition of their teeth and gums, which provides them with regular examinations and treatment. The stable income that this system provides means that dentists can focus on quality of care rather than the quantity of patients they see. Dentists can practise at the highest standards, whilst retaining independence and control of their business.

In addition to personal dental payment plans, Denplan also provides corporate dental cover for companies and their employees and Denplan for Schools, an insurance plan for pupils at independent schools.

Denplan emphasises the importance of preventive dentistry, with the objective of maintaining healthy teeth and gums for life. Patients know exactly what their care will cost and the treatment it will cover, thus avoiding unexpected large bills and enabling them to plan and budget ahead for their care.

Denplan has grown into a hugely successful organisation. After joining the PPP healthcare Group in 1993, and subsequently becoming part of the Guardian Royal Exchange Group, 1999 saw Denplan become part of the Global AXA Group, the worldwide insurance company dealing with life, health and other forms of insurance, as well as investment management.

Today, Denplan is the UK's leading dental payment plan specialist. There are 6,500 member dentists across the UK (approximately a third of practising dentists) treating over 1.8 million Denplan patients.
