Dental membership in Crossgar: what does a Practice Plan include?

When you’re choosing a dentist, knowing how you’ll pay for your care matters. You might want to spread the cost of routine appointments, understand what’s included or find a practice for your family.

At The Village Dental Practice in Crossgar, we offer two monthly dental membership options. This guide explains how they work and what to consider before joining.

What is a dental membership plan?

A dental membership plan lets you pay monthly towards an agreed number of routine appointments. It can make those costs easier to budget for, although it doesn’t mean every treatment is included.

Our plans start at £13 a month, with payments collected by Direct Debit.

Our two membership options

Included each year	Membership	Membership Plus
Monthly payment	£13	£17.50
Routine dental check-ups	1	2
Hygiene visits	1	2

Both options also include a 20% discount on most treatments, with exclusions, and access to the discretionary Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme. Assistance is subject to the scheme’s terms.

There is a one-off £9.50 administration fee with your first payment. Included appointments are subject to the required consecutive monthly payments.

You can read the full membership benefits and conditions on our Practice Plan page.

Which plan should I choose?

Start by considering the number of routine appointments included in each option. Membership Plus provides an additional check-up and hygiene visit each year.

If you’re unsure, speak to our team before joining. Ask how the plan fits your dental needs, whether you’re likely to need appointments beyond those included and what any additional care would cost.

A useful question is: “What will my monthly payment cover, and what might I still need to pay separately?” We’re happy to talk that through.

Can my children attend under the NHS?

Yes - children of adult members may be eligible for NHS care at our practice, subject to eligibility, availability and our family conditions.

The arrangement applies to direct legal dependants living at the member’s address until their 18th birthday. The parent must maintain an active membership without arrears. Please check the full conditions and confirm availability with us before joining.

What should I check before signing up?

Take a moment to think about what you want from a dental plan. Is spreading the cost your main priority? Do you want to understand the arrangements for your children? Are you returning to dental care after some time away?

Tell us when you enquire. It helps us answer the questions that matter to you and explain the next steps clearly.

You should also check the current membership terms, including when you can use your included appointments. Having that information at the outset makes it easier to decide whether membership suits you.
