Denplan Excel Accreditation Programme

Denplan Excel is an accreditation programme which brings you many benefits:

1. Reassurance in your dentist - they are practising in line with current good practice
2. Oral Health Score© - you will receive a regular oral health score from your dentist. This is a score out of 100 and will indicate how healthy your teeth and gums are
3. Improved understanding - of the care and treatment available to you
4. Motivating you - to maintain and improve your oral health
5. More consultation - involvement in deciding your care and treatments
6. Improved relationship - with your dentist through better communication and greater involvement in your own oral health
7. Patient survey - you will have the chance to give your feedback on the care and service your practice provides. By joining the programme, your dentist has committed to keep you well informed about your care and treatment. To help achieve this, a special range of Patient Information is available from your Denplan Excel dentist that explains different treatments and procedures, as well as giving advice on oral health.

The Denplan Excel accreditation programme is supported by the Patients Association
