Understanding NHS Costs

We want to make NHS dental care as straightforward and accessible as possible. If you’re receiving treatment under the NHS, your costs are set by national guidelines and fall into clearly defined bands based on the type of care you need.

Whether it’s a routine check-up or more advanced treatment, we’ll always explain which band your care falls under and what it includes, so you know exactly what to expect.

NHS Treatment Band Costs

Band one - £28.80

This covers the most basic dental care and includes:

  • A full dental examination

  • Diagnosis (including X-rays if needed)

  • Advice on how to prevent dental problems

  • Scale and polish (if clinically necessary)

  • Fluoride varnish application

  • Preventative care such as fissure sealants

Band two - £73.50

This covers additional treatments such as:

  • Fillings

Band three - £319.10

This covers more complex procedures such as:

  • Dentures

If you’re unsure which band your treatment falls into, our team will explain everything clearly before you begin.
