Stockbridge Dental Practice
OUR HYGIENE THERAPY PLAN
Our aim is to provide high quality care and treatment in a relaxed, comfortable and safe environment. We are committed to continuing education and keeping abreast of advances in modern dentistry. Here at Stockbridge Dental Care we are interested in your overall wellbeing and your oral health plays a bigger part in this than you may realise. Our team of experienced hygiene therapists are here to help you on your journey to a perfect oral hygiene routine.
Research shows that preventive dentistry delivered on a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of dental disease and provides a platform for a lifetime of improved oral health. We encourage such an approach and with this in mind we have joined with DPAS Limited to design a dental plan to reward loyal patients. This plan will be administered by DPAS who will make a separate arrangement with you to manage your payments under the plan. The plan will provide advantages both to you and to us. It will allow us to plan your dental care more effectively and provide the best chance of keeping you dentally fit. The advantage for you is that it should reduce the need for future treatment and you will have the peace of mind that all of your preventive dental care will be covered by convenient monthly payments. Upon joining the dental plan, you will also be eligible to request assistance from the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme for dental emergencies or dental traumas whilst at home or abroad.

HOW DOES THE WORLDWIDE DENTAL
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE SCHEME WORK?
Whilst a member of the dental plan, should you suffer a dental trauma, a dental emergency or be diagnosed with oral cancer you will be eligible to make a request for assistance from the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme. The Scheme responds to such requests on a wholly discretionary basis. This means that, whilst the Scheme aims to provide bene ts in most cases, the Scheme has no obligation to provide any bene t unless the Scheme Manager (the person appointed to administer the Scheme) first decides (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the Scheme should provide a benefit. There are some circumstances in which the Scheme is not designed to help (these situations being similar to exclusions under an insurance policy) and these are explained in more detail in the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme Handbook. The Scheme Manager will look at each case individually to assess the request for a bene t. Certain restrictions and limitations may apply in the event that your request for assistance is accepted and it is possible that in some cases the Scheme Manager will decide to provide no benefit.
If your request for assistance is accepted by the Scheme Manager you will be eligible to receive bene t payments from the Scheme in the following situations (up to the limits set by the Scheme and published from time to time):
✓ The cost of dental treatment by any dentist up to a maximum of £10,000 for any one incident of dental trauma
✓ The cost of:
emergency call-outs
pain relief or emergency temporary treatment
✓ A specified amount for each complete 24-hour period of hospitalisation wholly or partly under the care of a consultant who specialises in dental or maxillofacial surgery
✓ A specified amount if you are diagnosed with oral cancer and this is the primary cancer site
You will also have 24 hour access to a worldwide dental emergency helpline.
Please refer to the Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme Handbook for full details.
The Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme is operated by Worldwide Assistance Ltd (Company No. 10907861), a company registered in England and Wales.
Registered Office: Cambrian Works, Gobowen Rd, Oswestry, Shropshire SY11 1HS.
The Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme is NOT an insurance product and is NOT regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
