Fees
Your dental examination and treatments will require paying for. All private treatments are paid directly by the patient. NHS charges are either paid for by the UK government, or jointly by the patient and government.
You may be asked to pay a deposit for dental treatment and hygiene treatment.
NHS hygiene therapy is charged at band 2 (£65.20) and does not include the EMS Airflow treatment which is only available privately at £69.
Our online booking system will begin with private services.
Private
Please note under 18s accompanying a private fee paying adult continue to have reductions for new and routine dentist examinations:
- Under 18s : 50% off
- And Under 5s no cost
Further adding to the success with customers, new and routine dentist exams include all intraoral (small) X-rays, as needed.
All of our private hygienist treatments will, where COVID risk assessment allows, use the latest Guided Biofilm Therapy techniques that maximise the removal of harmful bacteria, plaque and staining. The EMS Airflow is considered to be "a spar for your mouth" using warm water and gentle, non-abrasive flavoured powders. Note that the Airflow will appear on your bill as a £10 'stock' item, which is already included in the advertised appointment fee.
Our online booking facility asks for an initial (50% deposit) payment when making an appointment, plus a £1.50 non-refundable booking fee. There are no booking fees charged for appointments made by the reception team, however a 50% deposit is still required for new patient appointments.

NHS
If you are on Universal Credit. You may still need to pay for your NHS dental treatment. Not everyone getting Universal Credit can claim free dental care. If you claim free dental care that you're not entitled to, you could have to pay a penalty (currently £100 and the cost of your treatment). Should you be waiting to find out about Unviveral Credit, the NHS recommendation is that you pay for your treatment and ask for an HC5 form - you may get a refund later from the NHS. Please check at
