According to Sainsburys Finance nearly 7,000 personal loans have been taken out for dental treatment.
Personal loans have been taken out to either wholly or partially fund dental treatement to a value of just over £60 million since the start of 2007.
The average size of personal loan purely for dental treatment is nearly £6,500 – the equivalent to around 2 dental implants, 2 dental crowns and teeth whitening at a mid-range cosmetic dental practice.
As Steven Baillie, Head of Loans at Sainsburys, commented,’loans have for some time been a popular way to finance (dental) treatment and spread the cost.
If you decide that a loan is the best way to pay for expensive dental procedures, make sure you shop around to get the best rate and payment as it could save you a considerable amount in repayments.’
Currently you can get a personal loan from Sainsburys Finance with an interest rate of 7.9% APR Typical.
You can currently also get a personal loan from Alliance & Leicester with 7.9% APR Typical.
Sainsburys Finance is a 50:50 joint venture between Sainsburys and Lloyds Banking Group.
As well as considering a personal loan, buying dental insurance may be another option to consider to cover the cost of your dental care.
