Ask for one at your examination, or call the practice nearest you. Every quote is itemised and held for 30 days. A guide to common private treatments. Your exact fee depends on the clinical detail of your case and is confirmed in writing at your examination. NHS treatment is charged at the national band rates below.
How NHS dental charges work
NHS treatment in England is charged in three bands plus an emergency rate. Each band covers everything you need within one course of treatment. If higher-band work is needed in the same course, you pay only the higher band, never both stacked.
- Urgent
Emergency care
Treatment to relieve pain, infection, or trauma, including for a knocked-out or broken tooth.
- Band 1
Examination & prevention
Examination, X-rays where clinically needed, a scale and polish, and your treatment plan.
- Band 2
Routine treatment
Everything in Band 1, plus fillings, root canal treatment, and extractions.
- Band 3
Lab-made restorations
Everything in Bands 1 and 2, plus crowns, dentures, and bridges.
Band charges are set nationally by the NHS and apply identically at every NHS practice in England. We confirm the band that applies to you before treatment starts. NHS registration is not catchment-bound, so you pay the same bands wherever you previously registered.
Who does not pay for NHS treatment
You do not pay for NHS dental treatment if any of the following apply. Please bring proof to your appointment. If you hold an HC3 certificate for partial help, bring it and we will apply the maximum stated.
- Aged under 18, or aged 18 and in qualifying full-time education
- Pregnant, or have given birth in the last 12 months (with a maternity exemption certificate)
- Receiving Income Support, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, or income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Receiving Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
- Receiving Universal Credit and meeting the income threshold
- Holding a valid HC2 certificate for full help with NHS health costs
Private treatments we offer
Private fees cover general, preventive, restorative, and cosmetic care. Each is quoted in writing at your examination, itemised and valid for 30 days. The full fee schedule is available on request.
General & preventive
New patient consultations, routine examinations, hygienist cleaning, Airflow advanced polish, white and silver fillings, and extractions.
Crowns, bridges & veneers
All-ceramic, porcelain-bonded-to-metal, and gold crowns, plus veneers, made by a UK dental laboratory with the lab fee included.
Root canal treatment
Quoted by tooth, since molars carry more canals than front teeth. The fee includes a temporary restoration but not the final crown.
Dentures
Acrylic, Flexite, and cobalt-chrome dentures. The fee includes impressions, try-in, fitting, and the first review adjustment.
Cosmetic & aligners
Professional teeth whitening and SmileAlign clear aligners, planned before anything irreversible.
Implants
Replacing the root, not just the crown. Quoted per case after assessment, with the full plan set out in writing.
What the NHS does not cover
Some treatments are private only because the NHS contract does not extend to them. The choice is never a quality judgement: NHS care delivers excellent outcomes within its scope, while private routes give more time per appointment and a wider choice of materials.
- Dental implants (NHS implants exist for narrow medical situations only)
- Tooth whitening
- Veneers and SmileAlign clear aligners
- White fillings on back teeth (sometimes a private upgrade)
- Airflow advanced polish
- Sedation for anxious adult patients
Ways to pay
Card, transfer & cash
We accept all major debit and credit cards, bank transfer, and cash.
Interest-free in practice
Larger treatment plans can be split over up to 12 months, interest-free, in practice.
Insurance & finance
Direct settlement with most major UK insurers including Bupa, Denplan, and Simplyhealth, plus regulated longer-term finance for larger plans.
