Membership Plans
Healthy Mouth… Healthy Smile… with our Member’s Plans
Becoming a member enables us to provide regular care and helps you to maintain oral health. There is evidence that members of our plan require less dental treatment overall and that good oral health contributes to general health and wellbeing.
Please speak to our team at any of your appointments, or even drop by to say hi! It is easy to join our Privilege Plan and you don’t have to be dentally fit to become a member to enjoy a range of member benefits. There is a once only £10.00 administration joining fee taken at your first monthly payment and then you pay a fixed monthly subscription to receive these member benefits:
£15.99
£24.19
Family Plans
We are pleased to offer a range of add-on membership plans for children (standalone plans unavailable):
Sapphire Tots (0-5 years of age) – Free with no administrative charges. Two dental examinations per year, no insurance component
Sapphire Kids (6-10 years of age) – £4 per month. Two dental examinations and fluoride applications per year, plus 10% off any treatment fees. Worldwide dental accident and emergency insurance also included.
Sapphire Juniors (11-17 years of age) – £7 per month. Two dental examinations and fluoride applications per year, as well as one hygienist appointment per year, plus 10% off any treatment fees. Worldwide dental accident and emergency insurance also included.
Please note that our plan administrators, Privilege Plan, charge a £5 administrative fee to set up new children’s members onto existing adult plans. They are able to waive this administrative charge should the whole family join the plan together.
Each year Sapphire Dental will contribute £5 per child member (6-17 years of age) to a children’s charity of our choice.
