NHS Dentistry Explained
Dentistry is one of the few NHS services where you must pay a contribution towards the cost of your care.
All treatments necessary to maintaining your oral health are available on the NHS. However, there are some treatments (mainly cosmetic dentistry) that aren’t available under the NHS, and you may choose to have these privately.
Treatment fees depend on the type of treatment. The NHS Band System is the best way to visualise the typical charges for various treatments.
Registering under the NHS is free at Perfect Smile and takes just minutes to do. Some of our practices have a waiting list, whereas some will be accepting new NHS patients. It’s always best to check with your local practice to see if they are accepting new patients.
For any further information regarding free NHS treatments and NHS eligibility, get in touch.
