We are fully dedicated to NHS Dental Care for their patients.
NHS treatments fall within three price bands. There are also criteria where patients are exempt from paying for their treatment. This is covered in the section – payment Information – of our web site.
If you have any questions about NHS treatments please just call the practice and speak to one of our receptionists.
The charge you pay depends on the treatment you need to keep your mouth, gums and teeth healthy. You will only ever be asked to pay one charge for each completed course of treatment, even if you need to visit your dentist more than once to finish it. Our procedure for NHS treatment is for you to pay the banded cost at the commencement of your treatment.
The standard price NHS bands are
Treatment is FREE for:
If you need more treatment at the same charge level (e.g. an additional filling) within two months (8 weeks) of seeing your dentist, this will be free of charge.
There will be no charge for writing a prescription* or for removing stitches.
Dentures - repairs to dentures will be free of charge.
