How to save on dental bills in Harpenden
Get dental insurance
Dental insurance is a great way to protect yourself against unexpected dental bills. Most policies reimburse a percentage of eligible dental costs after the excess is paid. Compare quotes from multiple providers to find the best cover for your needs and budget. Some policies also include routine check-ups and hygienist visits.
Schedule preventative care visits
Regular dental check-ups and hygienist visits can catch problems early, before they become serious and expensive to treat. Six-monthly check-ups, professional cleaning, and maintaining good oral hygiene at home can all help reduce long-term dental costs and prevent issues like cavities and gum disease.
Consider payment plans
Many dental practices in Harpenden offer payment plans or work with providers like Klarna to help spread the cost of treatment. Some practices also offer dental membership plans that bundle preventative care at a reduced monthly rate, which can be more affordable than paying per visit.
Look into NHS dental care
If you're on a low income or receive certain benefits, you may qualify for free or reduced-cost NHS dental treatment. Eligibility includes those receiving Universal Credit, Income Support, or Pension Credit. NHS dental charges are significantly lower than private treatment costs.
