The call was answered and dealt with very quickly . I was over 40 miles from home and needed emergency dental treatment for a large filling which had broken and got dislodged. The assistant was sympathetic and got me an emergency appointment very close to where I was staying.

I had a very positive experience with the team. They were quick to follow up after my initial enquiry, which immediately gave me confidence in their level of care and organisation. From the outset, communication was clear, professional, and reassuring.

Overall, the team was efficient, attentive, and genuinely focused on patient comfort. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental insurance that values clear communication and prompt, reliable service.

Excellent Customer Care

This is the third time I've had to use Denplan for "emergency" treatment and like the previous occasions Denplan agents were excellent. The original call was handled very efficiently by Shelley who set a deadline for a call-back and then by James who had to do the legwork of finding a dentist in the rural area I was in. This occurred within 24 hours. I think what makes Denplan a 5* in my opinion is that the agent owns the issue, keeps you updated and arranges the appt for you. Thank you Shelley and James.

Excellent and Efficient Customer Support

I had a very positive experience with Denplan’s customer service team. I initially reached out via their digital assistant, which quickly gathered my details and connected me to an advisor without any delay.
Beth, the advisor who assisted me, was extremely helpful, professional, and efficient. I had a query regarding a claim where part of the hygienist charge had been missed. Beth promptly investigated the issue, acknowledged the discrepancy, and processed the correction straight away.
I was informed that the additional payment would be issued within a few working days — all handled within minutes of the chat.
Overall, I was impressed by:

The speed of response
The clarity and professionalism of communication
The swift resolution of my issue without any hassle

Great service and a smooth experience — thank you, Beth and the Denplan team!

Excellent service.

I owed Denplan some money because I had moved house and could not find a Denplan dentist near my new home. Rather foolishly I cancelled my direct debit without giving 21 days notice.
I made the payment I owed over the phone with Dawn. She was excellent.
Many thanks Dawn

Absolutely superb, thank you Nicky and James.
I called with an emergency at 10:30pm. Not only were Denplan responsive but incredibly kind too.
As promised by Nicky, a dentist called me back. As promised, James from Denplan called before 9am with an appointment for an emergency dentist. The dentist I saw was wonderful and within less than 48 hours my tooth was extracted and all sorted.
Kept promises, and done with absolute kindness. Thank you.

Great Customer Service

Normally I make my claim online but I had to call as this was different to a routine claim. (emergency appointment so there was a little more back and forth) Got through with very little wait time and claim resolved the same day - THANK YOU Beth great service

Great experience and help

I called denplan as I was in a lot of pain and wasn't sure what to do. The lady on the phone was great. She listened and helped me and explained everything with what I needed to know and do.
After everything she called me back to ensure I was ok and all sorted.
Very great service. Just sorry I forgot her name.

Humans on the phones would be a bonus.have been with Denplan for 14 years and it has unfortunately taken me this length of time to realise that it is a complete waste of time and money.i have visited my dentist recently to have a small filling I paid £55 which included my Denplan discount of £10!.I asked the receptionist what it would have cost if I was going privately and the answer was £65…
I am currently paying Denplan £255.84 per year and my wife pays the same-do the sums ,one maybe two dentists visits a year costing a maximum of about £70 per year.i know it also covers emergency care overseas but so does my annual travel insurance so sadly gaining nothing there either.
