At Wedgwood House Dental Practice, we provide treatment to both NHS and private patients. To receive treatment, patients must be first registered as patients with the dental practice.
Our NHS patients are treated within the confines of the NHS contract. An explanation of who is entitled to NHS dental treatment, what that the treatment entails and its cost are given on the NHS Choices website and summarised here. Adult NHS patients wishing to be exempted from NHS charges must bring their 'exemption certificate' for inspection at every visit.
Apologies, some treatments such as dental implants, veneers, EMS Airflow, and teeth whitening (list not exhaustive) are not available on the NHS, and should you want them done privately, please talk to your dentist.
You may find that some treatments are better accessed privately, independent of the NHS. We will discuss all treatment options and their charges with you.
For many years Dr JM Geaney has placed dental implants for her patients, helping them to replace missing teeth or securely anchor dentures in place, restoring their confidence and smile.
After implants have been placed, you must continue to have them regularly cleaned to improve their longevity. We recommend EMS's Guided Biofilm Therapy (AIRFLOW), available from our private dental hygienist, as the only predictable solution for implant maintenance.
Please note that smoking interferes with the placing of dental implants, particularly with the healing process after surgery.
We provide the following:
Sometimes temporary or "immediate" dentures may be placed in a patient's mouth immediately after extractions to help them avoid being toothless. After the healing process a new set of dentures can made. Note that, including under NHS regulations, patients would be charged for both the temporary and permanent dentures.
