Congratulations to Rik Trivedi at Parrock Street Dental & Implant Centre for Passing the prestigious masters level Diploma in Implant dentistry at the Royal College of Surgeons London and being awarded the qualification DipImpDent Rcs (Lon)

Dental Implants are now considered to be THE best solution to replacing single , multiple or whole jaw missing teeth. They are now consider far superior to dentures and bridges which are older technologies prone to big problems at some time. The main problems with dentures being looseness, pain, discomfort, shrinking face and loss of confidence. Bridges involve grinding healthy teeth and later can results in problems with these teeth resulting in loss of bridges and large gaps affecting appearance, chewing and confidence.

Finance- Affordable Ways To Pay For Your Dental Treatment

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

What is finance and what are the benefits of it?

Finance is an option available to patients where they can obtain a credit amount for the full amount of your investment in your dental care and that is paid back in monthly instalments to the finance company.

Who is eligible?
Just about anyone over the age of 18. You don’t have to belong to a private dental plan and you don’t have to be a regular patient at Parrock Street Dental Care.

What can I use the loan for?
You can use the loan to pay for most dental work, but its particularly suited to more costly private treatments, such as dental implants, orthodontics, aesthtic or cosmetic work. If you’re not sure whether it’s right for treatment than please speak to your dentists or our lovely receptionists who will be happy to help you.

How much can i borrow?
Typically between £500 and £25,000 depending on the course of treatment. This will be subject to an ‘on-the-spot’ credit check. Most patients’ applications are approved there and then, so you can go ahead and schedule treatment immediately.

How do i repay the loan?
Much like any other loan, you repay it in affordable monthly payments over an agreed term. These payments are collected by Direct Debit.

How much will I pay?
You pay the cost of your treatment- no more and no less. Interest-free means just that. However there are many different options that allow you to pay back over an even longer period of time that does have a low interest rate. You can choose whatever option best suits you.

What are the repayment terms?
Your dentist or dental team member will be able to go through the various terms with you and agree the most suitable repayment period.

How do I apply?
Once you’ve agreed on a course of treatment- and a cost- with your dentist, medenta will make a credit application on your behalf. As soon as the credit check is complete and loan processed, you’ll receive written confirmation from the credit provider. Simple as that!

If you would like any further information than please phone 01474 537191 to speak to one of our reception team members.
