We have taken 700 New patients in January alone and and now we can not take NHS new Patients until further notice. This is to provide high quality service to existing patients.
At present our practice offers NHS treatment to over 70,000 patients.
The charges you pay depend on the treatment you require to keep your mouth, gums and teeth healthy. You will only ever be asked to pay one charge for each complete course of treatment, even if you need to visit your dentist more than once to finish it – either Band 1, Band 2 or Band 3. In some cases, patients are required to be referred to another dentist for another course of treatment, if this happens you can expect a pay a second charge or in particular areas of dentistry you may be required to be referred outside of the clinic (see Treatment on referral). Some minor treatments, including having stitches removed or repair to dentures (if they can be mended), are free.
