SERVICES

NHS CARE

NHS treatment is widely available within the practice. All new patients are entitled to care on the National Health Service.

NHS checkups are free.

You do not have to pay for NHS dental treatments if any one of the following applies.

You are:

• Under 18 years of age
• 18 years old and in full time education
• Expecting a baby
• Have had a bay in the last 12 months

You or your partner receives:

• Income support
• Income-based job seekers allowance
• Working family tax credit
• Pension credit guarantee
• You hold a current HC2 charges certificate

All other NHS treatment is subsidised by the government.

The maximum charge for one treatment plan is £384 (e.g. if your treatment plan for 3 fillings, 4 crowns and a scale and polish came to £520 you would only be required to pay £384).

If your NHS fillings, crowns and root treatments need to be replaced within 12 months of being done there is no charge to the patient.

New NHS patients are welcome.
Please call the surgery to arrange an appointment.

PRIVATE CARE

Many treatments to achieve a great smile are not available on the NHS. Your dentist will discuss all the available options for you and the final decision is yours.

Available treatments:

• Tooth Whitening
• Cosmetic Dentistry
• White fillings on back teeth
• Snoring Appliances
• Dentures
• Implants by referral

DISABILITY

Access – the practice is situated on the ground floor and we have a portable wheelchair ramp for the entry steps if required. Please let us know if you need us to put this out for your arrival.

EMERGENCY TREATMENT

Dental emergencies are:

• Bleeding
• Swelling
• Severe pain

Registered patients – call the practice first thing in the morning and we have reserved times for emergency treatment. You will be offered an appointment for within 24 hours (usually the same day). If you call later in the day it is less likely that we will be able to see you on the same day.

Unregistered patients – call the practice and you have 2 choices

1. We shall see you at the first available opportunity. This may be a few days and there is no extra charge for this service – you only pay for the treatment you have done.
   
   
2. We shall give you one of our same day emergency appointments but there is a £30 charge for this for any unregistered patient.
