All prices are a guide and might vary slightly depending on situation and oral condititon.
If you normally pay for NHS dental treatment, the amount you spend will depend on what clinical treatment you need. Some people do not have to pay for NHS dental treatment – see Who is entitled to free NHS dental treatment in England?
| Band 1: | £27.40 | Covers an examination, diagnosis and advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, a scale and polish and planning for further treatment. |
| Band 2: | £75.30 | Covers all treatment covered by Band 1, plus additional treatment, such as fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth (extractions). |
| Band 3: | £326.70 | Covers all treatment covered by Bands 1 and 2, plus more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges. |
If, within two months of completing a course of treatment, you need more treatment from the same charge band or a lower one – such as another filling – you don't have to pay anything extra.
However, after two months of completing a course of treatment , you will have to pay the NHS charge Band (listed above) for any dental treatment received.
If you require urgent care, you will only need to pay one Band 1 charge of £27.40. Most urgent treatments can be done in one appointment.
Did you know that in order to keep your NHS dental registration at our practice you need to attend regularly?
Many of our patients forget to make regular visits to see their dentist. And then, before they realise, it’s been nearly two years!
Due to the high number of people wishing to receive NHS dental treatment and the very long waiting lists, we have no choice but to de-register patients who have not attended for two years or more.
What to do to keep your registration?
Always attend any appointment booked, or cancel the appointment more than 24 hours in advance.
Make sure you book your next dental examination before you leave the practice. Whether it’s three, six, nine or even twelve months in advance, our reception teams will help you make your next appointment, and send you reminders nearer the time as well.
Check and update your contact details
Be sure they are correct, especially your email address and mobile phone, if you have one. If we can keep in touch with you, then we can help you keep on track so you don’t miss your appointment.
If you are caring for an older person, then help them to keep up their registration too by tracking their appointments for them.
If you have not booked an appointment, please contact us to make an appointment at your earliest convenience.
Once you have been de-registered, you are no longer able to receive NHS treatment at our practice. If you want to receive NHS treatment again, you will need to contact the NHS and join the waiting list. As NHS waiting lists are long, it may be some time before you can join another practice. So our recommendation is that you protect your registered status.
