Private Fees

Please contact us to arrange a consultation on the cost of any private treatment you may require.

NHS Fees

If you normally pay for NHS dental treatment, there will be three standard charges. nhs - Dental ServicesThe amount you pay will depend on the treatment you need to keep your teeth and gums healthy. 

Full details can be found on the NHS's website

You will pay one charge even if you need to visit more than once to complete a course of treatment.

You will pay one of the following three band charges:

BAND 1 - £16.20 – This charge will include an examination, diagnosis and preventive advice.  If necessary, this will include X-rays, scale and polish, and planning for further treatment.

Most courses of treatment will cost £16.20 or £44.60.

OR

BAND 2 - £44.60 – This charge includes all necessary treatment covered by the £16.20 charge plus added treatment such as fillings, root canal treatment or extractions.

OR

BAND 3 - £198.00 –This charge includes all necessary treatment covered by the £16.20 and £44.60 charges plus more complex procedures such as crowns, dentures or bridges.

If you need more treatment at the same charge level, for example, an extra filling, within two months of seeing your dentist, this will be free of charge

There will be no charge for writing a prescription or for removing stitches. Usual charges apply when getting the prescription dispensed; £6.65 from 1st April.

If you are referred to another dentist to complete a course of treatment, you will still only pay one charge. For NHS dentistry this will be £16.20, £44.60 or £198.00.   You will pay the full amount to the dentist who refers you.

If you are referred and accept a private option, you will:

  • pay the appropriate NHS band charge to the dentist who referred you,
  • pay the fee for the private work to the dentist you are referred to.

Dentures

Repairs to dentures will remain free of charge.

What is the difference between NHS and Private treatment? The main difference between NHS and private dental work is in the materials used and range of treatments on offer.

Going 'private' will give you a wider choice of treatments than the NHS - many treatments such as 'teeth whitening' and cosmetic dentistry are only available privately.
