Information about the NHS

The NHS provides the basic dental care you need to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy. NHS dental care has no hidden fees, just great service. We believe that everyone should have access to a healthy smile. In England, the cost of examinations and treatments is subsidised by the NHS, with patients covering the balance. These prices are fixed and sit within bands.

NHS Pricing Bands:

Band 1: £27.40 (Examination, assessment and advice)
Band 2: £75.30 (Everything in band 1 plus simple treatment completed in practice; e.g. fillings and extractions)
Band 3: £326.70 (Everything in band 1&2 plus complex treatment which needs the involvement of a lab; e.g. bridges, crowns, dentures)

NHS dental care is free for children under the age of 18 and those under 19 and in full-time education. It is also free on the NHS, if you fall under any of the NHS exemption criteria; for example, you are a pregnant woman.

For more information on who is entitled to free NHS dental treatment, visit the NHS website.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between an implant and a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is one or more teeth connected together, to replace multiple missing teeth at a time.

A dental implant involves the fitting of a replacement root into the jaw, then a replacement tooth (crown) onto the replacement root.

Bridges can be designed to attach to nearby teeth or to fix onto an implant.

Are implants or dental bridges best?

Dental implants are excellent at restoring a single missing tooth due to its strength and longevity.

Implants can be used for multiple missing teeth, but require surgery and a longer recovery time.

Dental bridges however are a great alternative to replace one or more missing teeth while being less invasive.

How long does it take to recover?

Traditional dental bridges have no recovery time, but implants supported bridges do as the fitting of the initial implant involves surgery.

What happens when I finish my treatment?

Once your traditional bridge is fitted, there’s no recovery time as no invasive procedures are involved. There will be a period of adjustment of 1-3 weeks while you get used to your restorations.

You may be advised to eat softer foods at first, before gradually moving on to tougher foods as you grow accustomed. You’ll be invited back for a review to see your progress and if you have any further questions or concerns.
