At Dame Street Dental we believe that high quality
dentistry should be accessible to all.
We understand that your smile matters - the impact for our patients of achieving the smile of their dreams can
be life-changing, and you should never have to give up on that dream for yourself because of the perceived
financial commitment, especially if you are investing in extensive treatment such as orthodontics, implants or
total smile makeovers.
Explore our payment methods below.
Pay The Full Cost In Advance
In choosing this option, you will receive a 10% discount of the total balance of your treatment plan
Pay As You Go
If preferred you can pay for each stage of your treatment as it is completed. In those situations you will always be given a detailed breakdown of your full treatment plan by your dentist, so you will be informed in advance of the cost of each procedure stage, to be paid at the clinic on the day of each treatment.
Monthly Payments
We work closely with the company GoCardless.com to allow you to set up a direct debit to cover your entire treatment cost, with no down-payment or deposit required.

At your initial consultation, your dentist will supply you with a detailed summary of all treatment you require, based on a full examination of your teeth and discussion with you of your goals – the cost of each treatment will be fully broken down, including the payment methods you can choose from.

We provide three available payment plans to choose from, and all methods hold 0% interest.
Questions? Answers.
Is there interest applied to the various payment plans?
Whether you choose Pay as you Go in-house payments for your total treatment plan with Dame Street Dental, or to set up a monthly direct debit payment plan through GoCardless, there is a guarantee of 0% interest applied.
There is simply a deposit of 10% of the total cost of your treatment if you choose to pay as you go for each stage of your treatment as it is completed.
Will a dental payment plan affect my credit history and rating?
Your credit rating is only affected by financial institutions, for example banks and other state and private lending agencies, and their reports of your repayment history to the Central Credit Register, operated by the Central Bank of Ireland. No routine reports are ever made to the CCR by Dame Street Dental regarding any of our offered payment plans, however if a direct debit payment plan is set up through GoCardless and these payments are defaulted on, this legal information may be reported to the CCR, which can affect an individual’s personal credit report in the future.
What happens if I default on my monthly payment?
If you have completed your treatment with Dame Street Dental and have a payment plan set up through GoCardless, this will simply continue until the total treatment amount has been paid.
Our clinic offers a variety of payment plans to ensure that the best in hi-tech, modern dental care is affordable and accessible to our patients. However, these payment plans are offered at the discretion of the clinic, and if a monthly payment defaults and the issue cannot be rectified with the patient in the first instance, then failure to honour the payment plan will result in the patient being asked to pay the remaining balance in full to the clinic within 5 working days, to avoid legal recourse being sought.
Which banks qualify for payment plans with Dame Street Dental?
Our highly experienced front of house team can facilitate your advance payment or pay as you go payment plan fully compatible with any Irish bank. Standard charges may be applied separately by your bank to card payments made in Ireland if your bank is located in the UK, the EU or otherwise internationally.
If you choose to set up a monthly direct debit payment through GoCardless, their service is compatible with all Irish banks, in addition to bank accounts located in the UK, the Eurozone, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Is there a minimum or maximum total treatment amount to qualify for a payment plan?
If you are choosing to pay all of your total treatment plan in advance, to avail of the 10% discount of the total by doing so, no minimum or maximum amount applies. The same is true of our in-house Pay as you Go payment plan, which does not have any minimum or maximum total amount limits.
If you choose to set up a direct debit monthly payment plan with the clinic facilitated through GoCardless, then a total treatment amount of €1000 does apply – this is however no maximum limit to the total treatment plan cost which can be paid monthly in this method, over a 6-month, 12-month or 18-month period.
