Joining the Elvet Membership Plan:

We want our membership to be as transparent as possible. Below is a summary of our core terms. Please ensure you have read these before signing up.

1. Starting Your Membership

• Dental Fitness: Membership is for patients who are dentally fit. New patients are required to have an initial assessment (£70) before joining. If you need treatment to become "fit," this will be charged at our standard private rates.

• Commencement: Your plan starts on the date of your first successful Stripe payment.

• Waiting Period: You can access your included benefits (like exams and hygiene) once you have completed three consecutive monthly payments, unless we agree otherwise.

2. Your Benefits

• Annual Rolling Limits: Your included check-ups and hygiene visits must be used within each 12-month period; they cannot be carried over to the following year.

• Exclusions: The plan covers routine maintenance. It does not cover laboratory fees (e.g., for crowns or dentures), implants, orthodontics, sedation, or specialist referrals.

• Not Insurance: This is a maintenance contract to spread the cost of care. It is not an insurance policy and does not cover out-of-hours emergencies or dental trauma.

3. Payments and Cancellations

• Monthly Collections: Payments are collected by on or around the 1st of each month.

• Missed Payments: If two consecutive payments fail, your membership and discounts may be suspended.

• 12-Month Commitment: While we hope you stay with us long-term, there is a minimum membership period of 12 months.

• The "Clawback" Clause: If you cancel within the first 12 months after receiving discounted treatment or included check-ups, the practice reserves the right to recover the difference between the membership fees paid and our full private clinical fees.

4. Patient Responsibilities

• Attendance: Please book your appointments in good time.

• Cancellations: We require at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or move an appointment. Failure to provide notice may result in that appointment being "forfeited" from your annual plan allowance or a failure-to-attend fee.
