NHS dental charges are determined by the highest treatment band required within a course of care. This means that if several clinically necessary procedures are completed as part of the same course, you do not normally pay each NHS procedure fee separately.
Your dentist can explain which band applies once your examination has established what treatment is needed. Urgent NHS treatment follows a separate charging arrangement where care is required to deal with an immediate dental problem.
Some patients may be entitled to free NHS dental treatment or help with charges because of their circumstances. Check the current eligibility requirements before claiming an exemption and make sure you can provide any supporting evidence required.
