At The Briars Dental Centre, we believe that cost should never be a barrier to the dental care you need. Whether you’re considering routine check-ups, cosmetic dentistry, or life-changing treatments like dental implants, we offer a range of payment options designed to make your care as accessible as possible — for patients across Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford, and the wider Berkshire area.
Card Payments
We accept all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Card payments are processed instantly and securely, whether you’re paying in the practice or over the phone. It’s the most straightforward way to settle your account on the day of treatment.
BACS Bank Transfer
Prefer to pay directly from your bank account? We welcome BACS transfers — a popular choice for larger treatment plans or patients managing payments through a business account. Simply ask our front desk team for our bank details. Please allow 3–5 working days for funds to clear before your appointment if paying this way in advance.
For more significant dental treatments — from Invisalign and tooth whitening to dental implants and full smile makeovers — our dental finance options through Tabeo allow you to spread the cost in a way that suits your budget.
Dental finance is increasingly popular with patients who don’t want to delay treatment they need or want, and it means you can begin your journey straight away rather than saving up. If you’d like to discuss whether finance is right for your treatment plan, speak to a member of our patient care team.
Our monthly dental maintenance plan is one of the most cost-effective ways to look after your oral health. Rather than paying for each visit individually, your plan covers your essential dental care as part of a predictable monthly direct debit — giving you peace of mind and significant savings throughout the year.
What’s Included in Your Plan?
How Does the Plan Work?
The plan runs on a rolling 12-month basis, administered through Tabeo. Once you join, you’ll receive a personal patient portal, and payments are handled securely by direct debit each month. Plans can be adjusted as your dental needs change, and setting up is straightforward — you’ll receive an invitation directly from Tabeo by email.
A maintenance plan isn’t just about saving money — it encourages regular attendance, which is one of the most effective ways to protect your long-term dental health and catch any issues early.
To ensure the most efficient and secure experience for all our patients, The Briars is a cashless and cheque-free practice. Card payments, bank transfers, direct debit, and approved finance arrangements are all accepted, giving you plenty of flexibility.
Can I apply for dental finance online before my appointment?
Your treatment plan and dental finance application are typically discussed together following your consultation, so we’d recommend attending your first appointment before applying. Our team will walk you through the options that apply to your specific treatment.
Is dental finance available for all treatments?
Finance through Tabeo is available for most treatments above a minimum spend threshold. This includes implants, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and larger restorative treatment plans. Speak to us for confirmation on your specific treatment.
Is the maintenance plan available for the whole family?
Yes — and family members joining the plan receive a 5% discount. Patients of all ages are welcome on the plan.
I live in Thatcham, Hungerford, or Basingstoke — can I still join the plan?
Absolutely. We welcome patients from across Berkshire and Hampshire, including Thatcham, Hungerford, Andover, Basingstoke, and beyond.
