What Is a Denplan Dental Plan?

Denplan is the UK's most established dental payment plan provider, and trusted by patients at thousands of dental practices across the country.

The idea is simple. Instead of paying for each appointment as it comes, you pay one fixed monthly amount that covers your routine dental care. Your check-ups, hygiene visits and routine x-rays are all taken care of, so you can look after your smile without worrying about unexpected bills landing when you least expect them.

What makes Denplan different at Tender Dental Care is how personal it is. Your monthly fee is not a one-size-fits-all price pulled from a chart. Dr Bilverdi examines your teeth and gums first, then sets a fee that reflects the care you actually need. If your oral health is in great shape, your plan reflects that. You will never pay for treatment you are unlikely to have.

See how your plan is tailored below, or call us on 01255 422506 if you would rather have a chat.

How Joining Denplan Works

Book Your Assessment

Come in for a check-up so Dr Bilverdi can take a proper look at the current health of your teeth and gums. This assessment is the foundation of your plan.

Get Your Personal Plan

Based on what he finds, Dr Bilverdi recommends the right plan for you and sets your fixed monthly fee. No guesswork, no generic pricing bands, just a fair fee based on your own oral health.

Relax and Smile

Once your plan begins, your routine care is covered by your monthly payment. Simply attend your appointments as normal and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing everything is budgeted for.

Why Patients Choose a Denplan Plan

Budget with Confidence

One fixed monthly payment replaces unpredictable bills, so your dental care fits neatly into your household budget.

Prevention First

Regular check-ups and hygiene care catch small issues early, before they become painful and expensive problems.

Routine Care Included

Your examinations, hygiene appointments and routine x-rays are covered by your plan, as agreed when you join.

Discounted Treatment

As a plan member, you typically receive a 10% discount on any additional treatment you may need outside your plan.

Personal Oral Health Advice

Tailored guidance at every visit from the same dentist each time, so your advice builds on what came before rather than starting from scratch.

More Than a Quick Look: Your Denplan Check-Up

A Denplan check-up at Tender Dental Care is a thorough examination of your oral health, not a two-minute glance. Here is what Dr Bilverdi checks at every visit:

Z

The health and movement of your jaw joints

Z

Your bite, and how your teeth meet together

Z

Your gums, with measurements recorded to monitor for gum disease

Z

Every tooth, examined carefully for signs of decay

Z

Your tongue, cheeks and soft tissues, including screening for mouth cancer

Z

Anything you have noticed yourself, however small it seems

Every dental check-up is carried out personally by Dr Bilverdi, supported by his dental nurse, in a calm and unhurried appointment. You will leave with honest advice tailored to you, not a sales pitch.

A Dental Plan From a Dentist Who Knows You

At Tender Dental Care, your care comes from a team of two: Dr Bilverdi and his dental nurse. There is no rotating roster of clinicians, no being passed between departments, and no explaining your history to a stranger at every visit.

That matters more with Denplan than you might think. Because your monthly fee is based on your individual oral health, the person setting it should be the person who knows your teeth best. Here, the dentist who assesses your smile and sets your plan is the same dentist who greets you by name at your next check-up, and the one after that.

It is a simple idea: personal care, from people who know you, at a price that reflects you.

I have been a patient here for a few years now, and have always had an excellent experience! My young children attend with me, they are treated with kindness and sincerity and have no concerns about visiting the dentist. Always super clean, all of the equipment, as well as the surgery itself are maintained to a very high standard. Dr Bilverdi and Hope are clearly very experienced and provide a great service.

I have been seeing Dr Bilverdi for nearly 20 years now. His care and attention to detail is first class and I have never had any trouble with his work. No filling or crown has fallen out and no treatment has had to be repeated. If you are not cleaning any areas he will point this out. A top class dentist and his assistant Hope is always very helpful and efficient.

As a very nervous patient (we're talking panic attack in the waiting room in the past) Dr. Bilverdi and his nurse have been exceptional. I'm no longer scared to go to the dentist! He has a very calming and reassuring manner and takes the time to explain everything clearly. A single-dentist practice that has been there for 26 years, with a nurse who has worked with him for 15 years, is the main reason I chose this practice. That's not to say the other practices in the area aren't good. But I found Dr Bilverdi to be outstanding in all areas. As an anxious patient, it's good to know who I'm seeing every time. It's refreshing when you call to make an appointment, and the dentist answers the phone, and then when you arrive, he is sitting at the reception desk to greet you. Had to have several injections today and can honestly say that I barely felt a thing with zero pain! The numbing spray before the injections worked brilliantly. If you are nervous about visiting a dentist, I can highly recommend Dr Bilverdi at Tender Dental Care.

My wife Sharon has attended Tender Dental Care for the first time, she was very nervous at first. Dr Bilverdi and Hope soon put her at ease. She is back home now after having 3 teeth removed and very impressed with the treatment received so far. She now feels more at ease going forward.

I’m terrified of the dentist! This has meant that I have avoided attending pretty much all my adult life. My teeth were in an awful condition and I had to do something. Attending Tender Dental Care has been the best dental experience I’ve had, the thought, time, and care given has made a world of difference not only to my confidence in my smile but the avoidance of attending the dentist has been a complete turn around. The quality of work has been to the highest standards and the clinic is professional and warm. I cannot express how grateful I am for such brilliant care.

I needed an urgent appointment because of a tooth infection. I was seen to really quickly, treated with antibiotics. The tooth was taken out a week later. I was really nervous but I was put at ease by Dr Bilverdi and his assistant. The tooth came out OK in fact I didn't even feel a thing. I recommend Tender Dental Care, as the name says, Tender care.

Dr Bilverdi is absolutely fantastic - best dentist I've ever been to. He's extremely accomodating, patient and caring, and has done a fantastic job on my teeth (fillings and a crown). He always goes the extra mile and really cares about his patients. The prices are very reasonable as well. Hope, the dental nurse is also just so lovely. I cannot recommend the practice highly enough. Thank you so much Dr Bilverdi and Hope!

I rung around several dentists before settling on Tender Dental Care. They could see me weeks ahead of any other practice but what sold it to me was the fact that the dentist himself answered the phone and was really friendly. I was so nervous about going and actually quite embarrassed about the state of my teeth but Dr. Bilverdi was not only patient but totally non-judgemental. He explained everything that was happening and didn’t go straight in for “you need lots of fillings”, which is always a concern when you pay privately. He instead gave me a whole range of options to consider in my own time. Dr. Bilverdi really took his time with me and at no point did I feel rushed or like I couldn’t ask more questions. Hope is also lovely and the quiet, nicely decorated environment is so much nicer than the usual bustling dentist waiting room. I was the only person on site during the appointment. The price is pretty reasonable too, with each cost being broken down before you agree to it. I have finally found a dentist I trust and will absolutely not be leaving it 6 years until my next visit! I went in terrified and tearful that I was going to loose all my teeth but left feeling relieved and relaxed. I can highly recommend!

Denplan Questions, Answered

Q1: How much does Denplan cost at Tender Dental Care?

Your monthly fee depends on the current health of your teeth and gums, so it is set personally by Dr Bilverdi after your assessment. Plans start from around £12.60 per month. The best way to find out your exact fee is to book a check-up and ask; there is no obligation to join.

Q2: What does my monthly payment cover?

Your plan covers your agreed number of examinations and hygiene appointments each year, routine X-rays when needed, and ongoing preventive advice. You also receive a 10% discount on additional treatment outside your plan.

Q3: Can I join if I need dental work doing first?

Usually, yes. Dr Bilverdi will assess your teeth at your first appointment and let you know if any treatment should be completed before your plan begins. Once your oral health is stable, your plan can start.

Q4: Is Denplan a type of dental insurance?

No, and this is a common mix-up. Denplan is a payment plan that spreads the cost of your routine dental care across the year. Optional insurance upgrades, such as Dental Emergency and Injury Cover, can be added if you would like them.

Q5: What happens if I need treatment that is not covered by my plan?

You simply pay for it as normal, minus your 10% plan member discount. Dr Bilverdi will always explain your options and costs clearly before any treatment goes ahead.

Q6: Can my family join too?

Yes. Ask us about plans for every member of the family, including Denplan for Children.

Q7: How do I sign up?

Just call us on 01255 422506 or send us a message using the form below. We will book you in for an assessment with Dr Bilverdi, and if a plan is right for you, we will handle the paperwork together at the practice.
