Now accepting new NHS patients
NHS dentistry makes dental care accessible and affordable for all. NHS treatment includes everything you need to maintain your oral health throughout your life.

Most people in the UK are eligible to access NHS dental care, and some people are even eligible for free treatment. NHS dental care is available for people of all ages and can support your changing oral health needs as you get older. Treatments available on the NHS include:

  • Routine Checkups
  • Crowns
  • Hygienist cleanings
  • Orthodontics (braces)
  • Fillings
  • Extractions
  • Root canals
  • Wisdom teeth removal
  • Bridges
  • Dentures

Some treatments are only available when they are clinically required, such as hygienist cleanings. Some treatments will have limitations on the materials that are used. For example, you might be offered dark amalgam fillings or metal crowns. And finally, some treatments have strict eligibility criteria, such as orthodontics.

We can help guide you through the process of securing treatment on the NHS, or offer advice and support that will enable you to supplement your NHS treatment with private care.

01
Book an appointment
We do not offer free consultations for NHS treatment. You will simply book a routine checkup, and this will be charged as a band 1 treatment. If you require further treatment, this cost could increase.
02
Your treatment plan
We will discuss your treatment plan and explore finance options. If you choose NHS care, you will have to pay one of the three treatment bands. There may be limitations on the treatment and the materials used.
03
Aftercare
We'll support you to take care of your oral health by reminding you to attend regular checkups. If you do not attend the practice for a long time, you may lose your spot on your NHS patient list. This is to ensure we can make space for patients that need treatment.
FAQs
How Can We Help?
Learn more about your treatment. We’ve answered the most common patient questions below.
Can I get free dental treatment on the NHS?

Some people are eligible for free dental treatment on the NHS. You will need to be:

  • Under 18, or under 19 and in full-time education
  • Pregnant, or have had a baby in the last 12 months
  • Being treated in an NHS hospital and your treatment is carried out by the hospital dentist
  • In receipt of certain low income benefits, such as income support or pension credit
Why is it hard to find an NHS dentist?

There is a lot of demand for NHS dentistry at the moment as a result of backlogs from the Covid-19 pandemic. There are also fewer NHS dentists than ever before, which means that some patients are struggling to register with a dentist. The best thing to do once you are registered with an NHS dentist is to attend regular checkups so you can remain on their list.

Can I mix private and NHS dental treatment?

Yes, it is certainly possible to mix private and NHS care. Many patients like to opt for NHS care to maintain their oral health and supplement this with private care for cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening.

What is the difference between an NHS dentist and a private dentist?

A dentist can offer both NHS and private treatment. The main difference is the price you pay and the treatments available. NHS dental care is intended to cover everything you need to maintain a healthy mouth, while private care also includes treatments such as cosmetic dentistry.

Went this week and was seen by Dr Bhavna who was fantastic. Very professional, courteous efficient and thorough, pointed out where my gums were good while highlighting how I can improve my dental hygiene further.
