NHS DENTISTRY

The NHS will cover all or part of the cost of certain dental treatments. The treatments covered by the NHS are limited to those which render the patient dentally fit and disease free. The NHS does not cover the cost of upgraded or cosmetic treatments. For individuals who want an option other than basic dentistry then we can provide alternatives outwith the health service.

If our patients wish to upgrade some of their treatments to private alternatives, eg tooth coloured instead of silver amalgam fillings then they have this option at the clinic where all our clinicians are trained in advanced dental proceedures.
 

We will always explain to our patients what treatment is required and what their options are, including costings, and allow them to decide what treatment best suits their needs.
 

We are currently registering NHS dental patients.  A dental check up is free on the NHS.  Patients receiving appropriate exemptions do not pay for dental services covered by the NHS.  Patients not in receipt of these exemptions are required to pay 80% of the costs. Individuals under the age of 25, pregnant and breast feeding mothers are also exempt from charges for treatment covered by the health service. Patients can be registered under the NHS and still opt for private dental services.
