NHS Treatments

The NHS provides the treatment which is clinically necessary to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy. This includes oral hygiene advice, PMPR (scaling), fillings, extractions, root-fillings, crown and bridgework and dentures.

Are NHS Treatments Right For Me?

Decisions about which treatment is appropriate will be based on your dentist’s assessment and clinical judgement. We are always fair and explain all your options, along with the risks and benefits of each.

Your dentist will make clear which treatments can be provided on the NHS and which can only be provided privately, and the costs associated for each.

You can get dental treatment on the NHS if you need it to keep your mouth and teeth healthy. You’ll usually need to get cosmetic treatments privately, these may include white fillings on your back tooth, tooth coloured crowns on molar teeth and a range of higher quality dentures.
