Patient Plan Direct

Patient Plan Direct We provide the most cost-effective dental plans in the UK saving dental practices thousands annually. Want to know more? Get in touch with our team today.

Patient Plan Direct (PPD) is a forward-thinking dental plan provider, that prides itself on delivering first-class dental plan solutions and exceptional client support. Our plan fees are much lower when compared to other major plan providers, allowing practice owners to make huge cost savings when switching from an existing plan provider to PPD. Historically, a change in plan provider required con

tacting patients and asking them to complete a new direct debit mandate. The revised 'bulk change process' we call simple switch, now manages the transfer of direct debits between providers in the background - no action required from patients! We also have a wealth of experience planning and executing NHS to private conversions. From calculating the initial viability analysis to managing patient communication and everything in between, we have a proven formula to successfully transition a practice from NHS to private dentistry. Our expert team will work with you to make it a success, with ongoing support thereafter.

It’s been our strongest Q1 in 17 years — and that’s no accident.

NHS reform across England and Wales has driven more enquiries than ever from practices exploring conversion. We’ve scaled our team to keep up, ensuring both new and existing clients get the support they need at every stage.

If NHS conversion is something you’re considering, now’s the time to get informed.

We’re launching our new report: The State of NHS Conversion 2026 at the Birmingham Dentistry Show on Friday, 15th May.

Built from years of real conversions across hundreds of UK practices, this report is grounded in actual outcomes, not assumptions or projections. Here’s what you’ll discover:

📈 The Conversion Surge: How NHS reform is accelerating the move to private, and what it means for your practice.

⏱ The Real Timeline: Why the average time to reach plan-patient targets has dropped from 11 to 7 weeks.

👥 What Patients Actually Do: Real sign-up data, and why patient loss is often overestimated.

🔄 Full or Phased Conversion? 70% go fully private. 30% phase it. And many are fully private within two years.

Whether you’re actively planning or just exploring your options, this is essential reading.

How quickly could your practice transition away from NHS dentistry?

Our latest data shows that, on average, practices reach their plan patient target within around two months of NHS contract termination.

Even more interesting, that timeframe has improved from 11 weeks to just 7 weeks over the past three years.

Why?

✔ Better preparation
✔ More structured patient communication
✔ Smarter processes in place

This isn’t guesswork. It’s based on real outcomes from practices that have already made the move.

We’re excited to be at the Birmingham Dentistry Show at the NEC on 15–16 May, where we’ll be launching our brand-new report: The State of NHS Conversion 2026.

Visit us at Stand G60 to get your copy, chat with our team about your practice, and see how a structured conversion plan with our support could make your move to private practice a success.

NHS dentistry is under increasing strain, prompting many practices to rethink how they will deliver care in the years ahead.

In the latest issue of The Probe, Kim Rimmer, one of our Business Development Managers, explores what this shift means for practices considering a move to private care, and how to make confident, informed decisions about the future.

Our data shows that, on average, converting just 40% of your active NHS patients to a private dental plan is enough to support a viable model. In some cases, it can be even lower.

That’s not theory. That’s based on real conversion outcomes from practices that have already made the move.

We can't wait to exhibit at the Birmingham Dentistry Show at the NEC on 15–16 May, where we’ll be launching our brand-new report:
