A Routine Dental Consultation consists of an oral health examination. The extent and scope of the examination will depend on your oral health concerns and presentation.

An Extended Dental Consultation includes, in addition, a basic clean of your teeth and gums by the dental surgeon conducting the appointment.

Where "All Private Prescriptions" is listed as a benefit, there are no charges for the issuing of any private prescription.

The fulfilment of a private prescription is subject to charges raised by pharmacies and will depend on the pharmacy selected and the nature of the prescription. We are not responsible for these fees, and they are not included as a benefit of Membership.

Where "All Intra-Oral X-Rays" is listed as a benefit, there are no charges for any intra-oral periapical or bitewing x-rays prescribed and delivered by a West End Dental team member. This benefit specifically excludes extra-oral x-rays, including but not limited to Orthopantomograms (OPGs) and Computerised Tomography Scans (CT-Scans).

Premium Treatments are defined as any Course of Treatment that includes:

• 

  Dental Implant treatment, including repairs, replacement and restorations that are supported by dental implants
  

• 

  Teeth whitening treatments

• 

  Facial aesthetic treatments

• 

  Invisalign®

Where Virtual GP Service provided by Doctor Care Anywhere (see below) is listed as a benefit, members can access a Doctor Care Anywhere account inclusive in their membership price.

Access to an account provides access to the Doctor Care Anywhere virtual GP and ANP service.

Access is provided by way of an authorisation code, which is automatically issued to eligible members via email. It is the responsibility of the member to keep this code safe, and to use the code to register an account.

Access can only be provided when an account is registered with Doctor Care Anywhere and it is the responsibility of the member to do this.

The benefit is provided directly by Doctor Care Anywhere, and not the West End Dental Group. No personal or clinical data is exchanged between Doctor Care Anywhere and the West End Dental Group. For the avoidance of doubt, the West End Dental Group have no role in the provision of this service.

The benefit is provided in accordance with the Terms and Conditions issued and enforced by Doctor Care Anywhere from time to time. Queries, issues or complaints regarding the service should be directed to Doctor Care Anywhere.

The benefit is funded at the discretion of the West End Dental Group as a courtesy benefit of membership, and this funding or the service may be withdrawn or amended by the West End Dental Group or Doctor Care Anywhere at any time without notice.

Child and Teen Members are eligible for this benefit. They must register for the benefit under the account of their parent or caregiver, who must also be a member of West End Dental. Instructions are issued by our Membership Advisors by email after a Child or Teen member registers. It can take up to 10 working days to issue instructions enabling Child or Teen members to register.
