NHS Fees

NHS treatment & Costs

NHS Dental charges depend on the treatment you need to keep your mouth and gums healthy.  You will only ever be asked to pay one charge for each complete course of treatment, even if you need to visit your Dentist more than once to finish it.

If you are referred to another Dentist for another separate course of treatment, you can expect a second charge.  Some minor treatments are free.
