What do you receive as an NHS patient?

What do you receive as an NHS patient?

Everyone is entitled to a comprehensive range of NHS treatment, advice and care you need to keep your teeth, mouth and gums as healthy as possible. Our dentist will explain which treatments are available on the NHS and which are private to allow you to make an informed decision about your treatment and to understand related costs.

Treatments that you can receive on the NHS include:

  • Bridges
  • Crowns
  • Fillings
  • Root canal treatment
  • Preventive advice and treatment for gum disease
  • Orthodontic braces (according to strict criteria)
  • Extractions (tooth removal)
  • Dentures or false teeth

Our dentist will determine how often you should have a NHS dental examination based on your treatment needs to ensure the best possible care. This may range from less than 6 months to every 2 years. If you are seen less often than 12 months then this is a sign of good oral health. It is important that you attend when recommended and don’t miss appointments.
