Best Dental insurance for private dental work

Hello

If you want to have your dental work done privately (rather than seeing an NHS dentist)
What is the best Dental insurance to have.

And the pro's and con's of them.

Which dental insurance are people using and what experiences have you had.

Typically, what does it cost a year for regular check ups and having teeth cleaned?

Thanks

    There's a MSE overview of the market here.

    There are a few places where it's a bit simplistic, but it's not bad.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
