NHS

We can offer some treatment through the NHS and we are happy to discuss your options.

Payment is requested after each appointment, unless by strict arrangement for extended treatment plans.

All NHS treatments fall into one of three bands:

  • Band 1 £22.60 – includes examination, diagnosis (e.g. X-rays, advice on how to prevent future problems, scale and polish if needed and application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealants. After a check-up your dentist will explain any problems you have and give you treatment options and reception will prepare a written estimate of cost.
  • Band 2 £65.20 – as above but also any further treatment such as fillings, root canal work or if your dentist needs to take out one or more of your teeth.
  • Band 3 £282.80 – as above plus crowns, dentures or bridges.

National Health Service dentistry must provide treatment of a reasonable standard to secure and maintain oral health. Fees (see above) are set by the Department of Health and will be the same with every NHS dentist. The NHS does not provide any cosmetic treatments including white fillings, bleaching, certain types of crowns or implants. Check-up frequency is determined by clinical need. NHS appointments are available between the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday.

Please note that we request NHS fees band 1, 2 and 3 to be paid in advance of appointments. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions.
