Finance & Payment Options

Honest, transparent information about how to pay for dental treatment at Tower Dental Blackpool — including 0% finance over 6 or 10 months via V12, subject to status, dental plans, and what your options are if cost is a concern.

Why we publish this clearly

Cost is the single biggest reason patients delay or avoid private dental care. We believe being upfront about finance options helps you plan, removes anxiety, and lets you focus on your clinical decisions rather than your wallet. There are no hidden fees, no early repayment penalties on our 0% finance over 6 or 10 months via V12, subject to status products, and no surcharges for any of the payment methods we accept.

Pay-as-you-go

The simplest option. Pay for each appointment or treatment as you have it. We accept:

0% interest-free finance

Most popular for treatments £500 and above. We work with FCA-regulated finance provider V12 Finance, which offers 0% interest-free credit over 6 or 10 months on qualifying treatment plans, subject to status.

Credit broking: Tower Dental (Station House DC Limited) acts as a credit broker and not a lender. Credit is provided by third-party lenders, subject to status, affordability and a credit check. Finance is available to UK residents aged 18 and over.

Treatment value Term options (0% interest-free) Example monthly
from £5006 or 10 months£50/mo over 10 mo
from £1,5006 or 10 months£150/mo over 10 mo
from £2,800 (typical implant)6 or 10 months£280/mo over 10 mo
Invisalign + bonding (price at consultation)6 or 10 months£500/mo over 10 mo
from £10,000+ (full-mouth cases)6 or 10 months at 0%from £1,000/mo over 10 mo

Note: finance is subject to status, affordability, and credit check. You must be 18+, a UK resident, in employment or with regular income, and have a UK bank account. Decisions are typically returned in 60 seconds via an in-practice tablet at your consultation. There is no obligation to use finance — you can switch to pay-as-you-go at any point during the application.

Dental membership plans

Best for patients who want to budget routine care across the year. Our adult plan is £19.50/month and includes:

Children's plans start at £9.99/month and cover similar routine preventive care. Plans are administered by Practice Plan or Denplan and operate by Direct Debit. You can read the full terms on our dental plans page.

Dental insurance

If you have private dental insurance — for example through Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, Aviva, Westfield Health, Simplyhealth or HSF — you can use it at Tower Dental. The standard process is:

  1. You pay us in full at the time of treatment (using any of the methods above)
  2. We give you an itemised receipt with our practice name, GDC numbers, and treatment codes
  3. You submit the claim to your insurer (most allow online claims with the receipt as a PDF)
  4. Your insurer reimburses you directly, typically within 5–10 working days

This is the standard arrangement at most UK private dental practices. We cannot bill insurers directly because we are not an insurance-network practice — but you generally don't lose anything financially by paying us first and claiming back.

Healthcare cash plans (HSF, Simplyhealth)

If you have a healthcare cash plan rather than full private dental insurance, the process is identical: pay us, claim back. Cash plans typically reimburse a fixed annual amount (e.g. £100–£300) toward dental costs regardless of treatment type. They work well alongside our membership plan if you have both.

If cost is a real barrier

Please tell us. We will sit down with you and review your options honestly. Sometimes there are clinically valid lower-cost alternatives (e.g. composite bonding instead of veneers, a partial denture instead of an implant). Sometimes treatment can be staged over 6–12 months to spread the cost. Sometimes it makes sense to start a dental membership plan to access the 20% restorative discount. And sometimes the right answer is to refer you back to NHS care, which we'll do without judgement if it's clinically appropriate.

We never pressure patients into treatment. If a treatment plan looks too expensive, that's a conversation, not a closed door.

Frequently asked questions

Is a £40 cosmetic consultation fee charged?
The £40 is the consultation fee for cosmetic bookings, taken at the time of booking, and it is redeemable against your treatment if you go ahead. It covers your consultation appointment with a GDC-registered dentist.
Are there any hidden fees or surcharges?
No. We charge no card surcharges, no booking fees, no admin fees, and no early-repayment penalties on 0% finance over 6 or 10 months via V12, subject to status. Your written treatment plan is itemised and the total quoted is the total payable.
What if I am declined for finance?
A finance decline does not affect your treatment options — it just means you'd need to use one of the other payment routes (pay-as-you-go, dental plan, or staging the treatment). A soft credit check from one provider does not affect your credit score; a hard check (only if you accept the offer) leaves a temporary footprint that fades within 12 months.
Can I pay with multiple methods?
Yes. Many patients pay a deposit on card and finance the balance, or pay part on a credit card for points/cashback and the rest by debit card. We can split payment any way that suits you, including across two different cards.
Can I get a quote without committing to anything?
Yes. Every consultation results in a written, itemised treatment plan emailed to you afterwards. There is no commitment to proceed, and the written quote is valid for 90 days. You can take it home, get a second opinion, or compare with another practice — we'd rather you came back informed than felt rushed.
