Having had good NHS dentists in the past, the last one was rubbish. (As my current dentist said, they must have been blind to miss a serious problem). When my employer offered Denplan I grabbed the chance and changed to the nearest Denplan dentist. Costs a fair bit and I'd recommend looking carefully to choose the right level of cover for your needs, but it was worth it to me, considering NHS dentists with vacancies are like hen's teeth around here. Although there are limits on how much they'll pay, the payback for my current treatment will be more than the premium this year. Maybe I can drop to a cheaper level next year.
