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.
