We offer a range of treatment under the National Health Service. We are able to see patients whom are exempt from dental charges, e.g. receive employment support allowance, income support, tax credits and maternity exemptions.

We also have a limited number of spaces for non-exempt patients who will be able to see our Foundation Dentist.

NHS Charges

There are three NHS charge bands:

• Band 1: £21.60 covers an examination, diagnosis and advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, a scale and polish and planning for further treatment.
• Band 2: £59.10 covers all treatment covered by Band 1, plus additional treatment, such as fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth (extractions).
• Band 3: £256.50 covers all treatment covered by Bands 1 and 2, plus more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges.

NHS treatment has 3 main remits: to relieve pain, to remove disease and restore function. It is not concerned with the look (cosmetics) of your teeth. This can be provided privately.

We have an attractive monthly payment plan to help you maintain an optimal state of oral health.

Our aim is to provide high quality care in a friendly, comfortable and safe environment. Research shows that preventative dentistry delivered on a regular basis greatly reduces the risk of decay and gum disease. With this in mind, we have joined with DPAS Limited to design dental plans to reward loyal patients.

These plans will be administered by DPAS who will make a separate arrangement with you to manage your payments under the plan. The plans will provide advantages to you and us. It provides the best chance of keeping you dentally fit and free of disease.

BENEFITS INCLUDE:

• Guaranteed registration with the practice and continuing access to your dentist
• Priority bookings in an emergency
• Access to a 24 hour dental emergency helpline 365 days per year.

You will have peace of mind that all of your preventative dental care will be covered by a convenient monthly payment.

Our plans also provide The Worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme for dental emergencies or injuries whilst at home or abroad.
The monthly plan cost includes the charges for management and administration payable by you to DPAS.

Any treatments not covered on any of the dental plans will be charged for separately, e.g. dental implants, cosmetic treatment, facial aesthetics, orthodontics and oral surgery.

Please contact the practice for more information about the cost of the plans.
