Changing your dentist
If you are moving house, going to college or if there is a change in your
circumstances, you may need to change your dentist.
Your Denplan contract is between you and your dentist,
therefore please follow the simple steps below to ensure a smooth
transition:
| Step 1 |
Arrange a leaving appointment.
This will enable your dentist to finish any outstanding treatment that
you need. |
| Step 2 |
Ask your dentist to complete your
'Patient leaving form'.
You will need to present this to your new dentist. This will give them
valuable information about your past dental history |
| Step 3 |
Write to or telephone us,
giving 21 days notice.
You need to end your contract with your present dentist. Notice will
expire on the last day of the month and your entitlement to
Supplementary Insurance and Insurance Services will also cease at
that time. |
| Step 4 |
Re-register with a new Denplan
dentist.
To help you find a dentist, please use our online
'Find a dentist' facility. Please remember to give your new dentist
your completed Patient Leaving form. |
| Step 5 |
Check if there will be an
examination fee for your new Denplan Assessment.
Check this before booking your first appointment with your new dentist
as this can vary from practice to practice. |
| Step 6 |
Complete a new registration form
and Denplan contract at your first appointment with your new
dentist.
If you re-register within six months of ending your previous
registration, you can re-register free of charge. |
| Step 7 |
Check your monthly fee.
Denplan dentists set their own fees and therefore your monthly fee may
change. |
| Step 8 |
Check that your dentist is happy
with your treatment needs.
Remember that clinical opinions between dentists can and do vary. Your
new dentist may have a different opinion of your treatment needs, and
there may be a difference in what is excluded from your contract. |
Please note: Registering with a new dentist will
mean that your Supplementary Insurance and Insurance Services will
re-commence when you have registered with a new dentist.
