We offer appointments for both NHS and Private dentistry utilising the latest imaging technology and advanced pain free techniques to bring you the best possible dental solutions.

What are the NHS dental charges?

If you normally pay for NHS dental treatment, the amount you spend will depend on what treatment you need.

There are 3 NHS charge bands:

  • Band 1: {{nhs_band_1}} – {{nhs_band_1_description}}
  • Band 2: {{nhs_band_2}} – {{nhs_band_2_description}}
  • Band 3: {{nhs_band_3}} – {{nhs_band_3_description}}

Find out what’s included in each NHS dental band charge.

Some people do not have to pay for NHS dental treatment.

What if I need more treatment?

If, within 2 calendar months of completing a course of treatment, you need more treatment from the same or lower charge band, such as another filling, you do not have to pay anything extra.

If the additional treatment needed is in a higher band, you’ll have to pay for the new NHS course of treatment.

Once 2 months have passed after completing a course of treatment, you’ll have to pay the NHS charge band for any NHS dental treatment received.

Certain treatments (including lost items) are guaranteed for 12 months from the date they were completed.

These are:

  • Fillings
  • Root Fillings
  • Inlays
  • Porcelain Veneers
  • Crowns

Treatments provided under this guarantee must be similar or related to the original treatment, but they do not have to be like for like.

Emergency or urgent treatment

If you require urgent care, you’ll pay a Band 1 charge of £23.80.

Most urgent treatments can be done in 1 appointment.

Once your urgent course of treatment is complete, you may be advised to make another appointment for a separate course of non-urgent treatment.

In this case, the relevant NHS banding charge will apply.

When you do not have to pay?

There’s no dental charge:

  • For denture repairs
  • To have stitches removed
  • If your dentist has to stop blood loss
  • If your dentist only has to write out a prescription – but if you
  • Pay for prescriptions, you’ll have to pay the usual prescription charge.

What dental services are available on the NHS?

The NHS will provide any clinically necessary treatment needed to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy and free of pain.

Decisions about which treatment is appropriate will be based on a clinical assessment and evidence based dentistry.

Your dentist will make clear which treatments can be provided on the NHS and which can only be provided on a private basis, and the costs associated for each.

If you decide to choose alternative private options, this should be included in your treatment plan. You’ll be asked to sign the plan and be given a copy to keep.

Sometimes a proposed treatment can change on further investigation or as a result of changes in your oral health after the initial assessment.

Any changes to treatment should be discussed and agreed with you.
