Dental Care

As an NHS patient you can expect to receive a high standard of care. We offer all the dental treatments that are necessary to help you maintain your oral health.

As an NHS patient you will pay one of the three NHS charges for all your NHS dental treatment. There are certain treatments- including those deemed as cosmetic, e.g. white fillings and veneers that are not routinely available on the NHS. NHS dentistry is focused on clinical needs only. Its aim is to restore dental function in the most cost effective way. However, NHS patients can benefit from our full range of cosmetic dentistry privately, if it isn’t covered. Just speak to your dentist about the full range of options available.
