Dental Emergency in Zurich

Dental Emergency in Zurich. On return, contacted Denplan via telephone and explained situation. Was told costs were covered and directed to claim form. Process was simple and response within a couple of days with money to be sent to direct debit account within 10 days. Denplan make the whole process simple and phone conversations were helpful with the overall impression of a company looking to be as helpful as possible.

When you need some work done and you…

When you need some work done and you may required denture/s or other expensive dental work, by having the costs spread over monthly payments,which include check up apportionments and hygienist which are included plus any work done you get a 10% discount. Instead of paying for work carried out or the need for dentures etc, paying monthly amount helps especially if you are unable to pay the whole cost/s at once.

Absolutely amazing service from Denplan

We've had absolutely outstanding service from Denplan. My son is away from home at university and has needed emergency surgery for a wisdom tooth problem. Denplan have been wonderful in sorting everything out for us - from the initial emergency appointment, to the removal of the tooth. The claim has been settled so quickly and with no fuss.

I telephoned Denplan to ask if I could change the date my standing order payment was collected and was told no. There was no explanation as to why this simple facility wasn’t available. The customer services person was almost going out of his way to be unhelpful.

And, furthermore, just in case you don’t know, customers hate having to’interact’ with supposed AI whilst try to resolve a problem. Why can’t we just speak to a real person to begin with?!

Hi Robert,

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns and feedback.

We really appreciate all feedback we receive from our customers as it helps us to improve the products and services we offer.

We understand our voice assistant might not be the sort of thing everyone’s comfortable with, but for lots of our customers this can provide a quick answer or let them know where to find the information themselves without having to worry about waiting on hold.

We always love talking to our customers, and this hasn't changed, but we don't want to keep people waiting unnecessarily and our voice assistant helps us make sure our team are available for those more complicated queries and conversations that need our support. Please be assured we haven’t replaced our Contact team with our voice assistant, and our team remain available to help those customers who need it.

To enable us to fully address your concerns regarding your payment date, please may we ask that you contact our Customer Relations team directly at DenplanCustomer.Relations@simplyhealth.co.uk. For security purposes, please include your date of birth and post code.

Everything

Everything. Unfortunately , their service does not even deserve a single star. No response to claims . Despite being given all the information, they use an excuse that they cannot find the dentist (not registered) or some other excuse. Regretful, will be cancelling the damn thing. Claim outstanding since September 2025.

It has been further number of attempts and calls. Submitted invoices , bank statements but same old response to submit and nice in a special way. Damn damn damn. This service that I have been paying for last 3 years and only one claim and this company dragging their feet as …….. I have been trying to call and endless bots just can not understand, cannot understand, with going no where . I am requesting to cancel and again literally stuck , cannot do anything . If a get a treatment , I pay and then on top , monthly I pay to this crap Den plan. Emails after emails and no action , how convenient it is for these big companies. Save your time and money if you can. Stay away from dem plan.

I want to thank Denplan for such an easy and fast reimbursement of funds for the emergency procedure that I received whilst on holiday in America.

Denplan (Kylie) were professional and helpful and I was surprised at how quickly the reimbursement was processed. Many thanks!

Not worth the effort

After spending ridiculous amount of time going back and forth from Denplan and my dental practice to get any money back, they then don't pay. I will be reconsidering this plan.

Do not join!

Do not join. All is fine when you pay the monthly fee to them but the moment you make a claim they make you go back and forth trying to find any way not to pay out. Absolute waste of money and one of the worst dental plans I’ve come across who do not even have a clue how dentists operate these days in terms of appointments!!

We are very sorry to hear how unhappy you are with the way your claim has been handled.

We do sometimes have to request additional documentation to support claims for audit and validation purposes. However, this process should be straightforward for both our customers and their treatment provider.

Great service

Unfortunately my denture plate broke in half whilst I was in Spain. After a visit to the local dentist a new plate was made for me in less than a week and I made a claim through Denplan. The claiming is straightforward and I have already received confirmation that my claim has been successful. This plan also covers our dental treatments at home which are first class, so I have nothing but praise for them.

Very poor service

Very poor service. It would appear the main aim is to administer payment. They do not ensure the dental practice is able to carry out work.

Hello J. Douglas,

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

For our customers who have Denplan directly through their dentist, if they are dissatisfied with their registered practice and the service they have provided in any way, we recommend discussing their concerns with the dental practice directly.

If you put your concerns to them in writing they should respond to you within 14 days, and provide you with a copy of the practice’s in-house complaints procedure. This is because Denplan is a monthly budgeting scheme for which we act as an administrator, collecting your monthly payments and passing these to your registered dentist, whom your contract is with.

Saying this however, we would also like the opportunity to discuss your concerns and how Denplan works in more detail. Please may I ask that you contact our Customer Services Team on 0800 401 402. Our phone lines are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. Alternatively, you can contact our Customer Relations team directly at DenplanCustomer.Relations@simplyhealth.co.uk. For security purposes, please include your date of birth and post code.

Grateful for help with my toothache!

I was away from home with a dental
emergency and in a lot of pain, the Denplan representative was very kind, caring and very helpful, clearly explaining next steps.
Within around 1.5 hours an emergency appointment had been arranged at a brilliant dentist about 20 mins away & I was treated.
I’m awaiting my claim so can’t comment on that process but it was easy enough to submit the docs online.

COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL

Due to aNatWest Bank error on my elderly sister’s account ,this company have sent a letter saying that her plan had been cancelled.However an earlier letter stated that the direct debit had been reinstated.
I called them on her behalf and asked if I could pay whatever is outstanding.The answer was NO! Even though I said that because of her ill health it might be difficult for her to call,they simply said that she would have to as they needed to go through the Plan in detail again.
My conversation was like watching an episode of Little Britain where the ‘advisor’ simply says “the computer says no!’
So what should I believe? Is the plan cancelled as letter stated or that the Plan has been reinstated in another letter.
Bureaucracy gone mad!

Hello John,

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns.

Regrettably, in order to reinstate any plan we are required to discuss the specific plan details with the policyholder. These requirements are in place to ensure they receive clear, accurate information about the policy coverage to ensure they make an informed decision. As I’m sure you can appreciate we are required to do this to ensure we are compliant with regulatory guidelines.

Saying this however, we do have a couple of options available to you and your sister, in order for us to discuss these in more detail please may we ask that you contact our Customer Relations team directly at DenplanCustomer.Relations@simplyhealth.co.uk.

I’ve been a Denplan customer for over…

I’ve been a Denplan customer for over 20 years. Had an amazing dentist and was treated well and helped with any emergency. Last year the dentist practice changed hands. Wasn’t given any notice of this until I went for my appt. It was ok but very rushed. Second check was a nightmare. They were running very late. I was sat in the chair, no greeting to explanation of what he was going to do. Tapped me on the side of my mouth to open it. Then stuck in a xray thing and they left the room. Came back in and then said it needed to have a new filling with as the tooth was cracked and a cap which would coast over £300. I said I hadn’t got that money as I was clearing a large vet bill. He then proceeded to say when will you get the money and asked me at least 5 times. I apologised and said I didn’t know, he asked again. I said good bye and left. That’s over six months ago and I can’t have any further check ups until this payment has been made. Still paying the full amount to Denplan. I rung their customer service to see if I could change dentist, again this is very hard as you have to go back to see the same dentist, who I never chose in the first place and want his money. I also suffered a cracked tooth which split in two and was very painful. Guess what, it wasn’t the tooth he said. It’s a shame as they used to be so good.
