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.

There are no special instruments used in the screening for oral cancer apart from the skill of a trained eye.

Smoking and alcohol are the biggest risk factors of oral cancer and therefore those patients most at risk should attend routine examination appointments regularly.

Oral cancer can be spotted very early by a dentist usually before patients have any signs and symptoms.

Typical signs and symptoms of oral cancer include:

Pain and swelling in the mouth

Swelling around the neck

A mass or discoloration within the mouth

Painful ulcer that is not healing.

If  you are worried about oral cancer and would like an examination please do not hesitate to call us to make an appointment.
