Smilecare Membership at Lady Bay Dental Care – Is It Worth It?

Looking after your smile doesn’t have to come with unexpected costs or stress. At Lady Bay Dental Care in West Bridgford, our Smilecare Membership offers a simple, affordable way to stay on top of your oral health while saving money on treatment. But what exactly is included and is it right for you?

Let’s take a closer look at what the Smilecare plan offers and how it could benefit you in the long run.

What’s Included in the Smilecare Membership?

For just £15.50 per month, Smilecare members receive a comprehensive package of dental care and benefits designed to keep their teeth and gums healthy all year round. Here’s what you get:

✅ Annual dental examination

A full oral health check, including assessment of your teeth, gums, jaw, bite, and soft tissues (like oral cancer screening).

✅ Routine x-rays

When clinically required, bitewing or other x-rays are included at no extra cost.

✅ Two hygienist appointments per year

These visits include gum health checks, thorough cleaning, stain removal, and personalised oral hygiene advice.

✅ Fluoride treatments

Helps protect your enamel and reduce the risk of cavities, great for both adults and children.

✅ Dental Emergencies & Prescriptions

If something unexpected happens, you’re covered for same-day appointments and prescriptions.

✅ 10% off routine dental treatments

Need a filling, extra hygiene appointments, crown, or even whitening? Members get a discount on most treatments.

✅ Low joining fee

There’s a one-off £12 registration fee when you sign up, collected via direct debit.

Why It Might Benefit You

1. More Predictable Dental Costs

Rather than facing surprise bills, you spread the cost evenly across the year making dental care easier to budget for.

2. Encourages Regular Check-ups

When your exams and hygiene visits are already paid for, you’re more likely to keep up with them. That means problems are caught early before they become more serious (and costly).

3. Discounted Treatments

Whether it’s cosmetic whitening or essential dental repairs, that 10% discount can add up quickly if you need work done.

4. Peace of Mind in Emergencies

Knowing you can access same-day care if something goes wrong without a hefty bill offers real peace of mind.

5. Improved Long-Term Health

Routine cleanings and fluoride treatments are essential for preventing gum disease and tooth decay, which also have links to broader health issues like heart disease, alzheimer's and diabetes.

6. Continuity of Care

Being part of a membership encourages regular visits with the same team, helping build trust and ensuring your dental care is consistent and personalised.

Is It Right for You?

If you value prevention, prefer budgeting your healthcare costs, or want to avoid large unexpected dental bills, this plan could be a perfect fit.

It’s especially ideal for:

• Families looking to manage care affordably

• Adults who want to maintain their oral health long-term

• Anyone prone to dental issues or anxious about emergency costs

• Patients who prefer private dental care but want to keep it affordable

Lady Bay Dental Care’s Smilecare Membership is a great way to stay on top of your oral health while reducing long-term costs and stress. For many people, the plan pays for itself just through routine care, plus you get the added benefits of discounts and emergency support.
