Clear, written pricing across all three practices. No surprise charges, no upsells, and a quote that stays valid for 30 days.
Every quote is set out in writing before treatment begins, with any laboratory fees included.
We recommend what you need, not what costs the most. There is no pressure to upgrade.
Once a treatment plan is issued, the quoted fee is held for 30 days while you decide.
Fees are shared across our two Harlow practices, Nuffield and Church Langley, and listed separately for Enfield Smiles. Each treatment is quoted in writing before it begins 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.
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.
Treatment to relieve pain, infection, or trauma, including for a knocked-out or broken tooth.
Examination, X-rays where clinically needed, a scale and polish, and your treatment plan.
Everything in Band 1, plus fillings, root canal treatment, and extractions.
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.
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.
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.
New patient consultations, routine examinations, hygienist cleaning, Airflow advanced polish, white and silver fillings, and extractions.
All-ceramic, porcelain-bonded-to-metal, and gold crowns, plus veneers, made by a UK dental laboratory with the lab fee included.
Quoted by tooth, since molars carry more canals than front teeth. The fee includes a temporary restoration but not the final crown.
Acrylic, flexi, and cobalt-chrome dentures. The fee includes impressions, try-in, fitting, and the first review adjustment.
Professional teeth whitening and SmileAlign clear aligners, planned before anything irreversible.
Replacing the root, not just the crown. Quoted per case after assessment, with the full plan set out in writing.
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.
We accept all major debit and credit cards, bank transfer, and cash.
Larger treatment plans can be split over up to 12 months, interest-free, in practice.
Direct settlement with most major UK insurers including Bupa, Denplan, and Simplyhealth, plus regulated longer-term finance for larger plans.
Yes. A common pattern is an NHS examination plus private cosmetic work, or an NHS filling plus a private upgrade for white composite on a back tooth.
Once a written treatment plan is issued, the quoted fee is held for 30 days.
Slots cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice attract a missed-appointment fee, set out in the booking terms you confirm when you book.
Yes. Up to 12 months interest-free in practice, with longer-term finance through a regulated third-party provider for larger plans.
X-rays are included in the NHS Band 1 fee where clinically indicated. Private X-ray fees are confirmed at your appointment.
Tell the dentist. Treatment can usually be phased over time, a more economical alternative proposed, or NHS routes used where you are eligible.
Ask for one at your examination, or call the practice nearest you. Every quote is itemised and held for 30 days.
