We offer a range of NHS and private treatments
|
What is available on the NHS?
All treatment that is, in your dentist's opinion, clinically necessary to protect and maintain good oral health is available on the NHS. This means the NHS provides any treatment that you need to keep your mouth, teeth, and gums healthy and free of pain. |
Why consider private treatment?
NHS dental treatment does not include cosmetic treatments that are not clinically necessary, such as teeth whitening. Cosmetic treatments like this are used to improve the appearance of your teeth and make them look more attractive, and are only available privately. If you're interested in having any cosmetic dental treatments, you should ask your dentist how much private treatment will cost. Charges for any private treatment will be added to the charges for your NHS treatment. Dental implants and orthodontic treatment, such as braces, are available on the NHS, but only if there's a medical need for the treatment. |
Missed Appointments
If you know you will not be able to attend an appointment then please give as much notice as possible to the dental practice so we can cancel your appointment and offer your slot to another patient. Your dentist can terminate your treatment if you miss your appointment without letting the dental practice know. You may then need to pay again for a new course of treatment.
For NHS patients, while surgeries can't charge you for not turning up, NHS England has the right to ask you to find another dental practice if you continue to miss appointments. You may not be seen if you miss 2 appointments within a 12 month period.
For private patients, the practice reserves the right to charge a failure to attend fee or a holding deposit may be taken for your next appointment.
