The charge you pay depends on the treatment you need to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy. You will only be asked to pay one charge for each complete course of treatment, even if you need to visit your dentist more than once to finish it. All charges will be discussed with you prior to treatment, so you are aware of the price band your treatment will fall into.

NHS prices fall into three bands related to the treatment you might receive. These are:

Emergency dental treatment – £27.40
This covers emergency care in a primary care NHS dental practice such as pain relief or a temporary filling.

A full list of our private dental charges are available from our reception staff. Please do not hesitate to ask for one if needed. Estimates will always be given and agreed prior to treatment.

Payments

Please note that we do not run an accounts system so all treatment must be paid for on the day it is carried out.
