Treatment Costs

Treatment cost varies depending on the clinical requirement of each patient. All our dentists give a written estimate to the patients and all the available options are explained at the time of the first consultation.

Private – These treatments are advanced and cosmetic treatments. The dentists allocate additional time and make use of expensive materials and use specialist laboratories which are generally not available under the NHS system.


Intermediate – These treatments are available when there is no NHS funding allocation.


NHS dental charges – Pricing is fixed at 3 different levels. Each dentist has a monthly allocation of NHS funding treatment which is subject to availability. NHS hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. The three NHS charge bands are as follows:

  • Band 1: £16.50. This charge includes an examination, diagnosis and preventive advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, scale and polish and planning for further treatment.
