An NHS appointment starts with an assessment of your teeth, gums and any symptoms or concerns you want the dentist to check.
The dentist may recommend X-rays where clinically necessary and will explain whether further treatment is needed. Patients looking for an NHS dentist in West Hampstead can also be advised which NHS treatment band applies before a course of care begins.
The purpose of this first stage is to establish what treatment is clinically required rather than carrying out unnecessary procedures.
NHS dentistry also includes preventive care intended to reduce the risk of future dental problems.
Depending on your needs, this may include advice on brushing, fluoride, diet and gum care, as well as preventive treatment where clinically appropriate.
Regular assessment can also help identify early decay, gum problems or changes around existing restorations before they develop into more complicated treatment needs.
Perfect Smile West Hampstead provides both NHS and private dentistry.
Where an NHS treatment option is clinically appropriate, the dentist can explain what it involves and which NHS band applies. If a private alternative is also available, its benefits and cost should be discussed separately.
Patients searching for a dentist in West Hampstead for NHS care can therefore make a clearer distinction between treatment that is available through the NHS and any optional private alternative.
Some NHS treatment can be completed in one visit, while other courses of care may require several appointments.
You normally pay one NHS charge for the complete course of treatment rather than a separate band charge for every visit. If treatment from more than one band is required within that course, the highest applicable band determines the charge.
This means the number of appointments does not by itself determine the NHS fee.
Perfect Smile West Hampstead provides NHS and private dentistry at 179–181 West End Lane, West Hampstead, NW6 2LH. The clinic is around a five-minute walk from West Hampstead station, with Jubilee and Mildmay line connections and local bus routes nearby.
