Private Dentistry
We offer a spectrum of private dental treatments, enabling patients to access the services they want to gain a smile they love.
What’s the Difference Between Private Dentistry and NHS Dentistry?
Private dental services allow patients to access a wider range of specialty care. NHS dental treatments are partially funded by the state and taxpayers, and patients pay for the Band of treatment they receive.
The major difference between private and NHS dentistry is whether a service is clinically necessary to achieve or maintain good oral health. That is to say, cosmetic treatments and some restorative options are not eligible for coverage under the NHS. Patients either pay for these services out-of-pocket or through a private insurance plan.
Private treatments are:
- Dental services that offer a superior level of service and increased treatment options
- Not clinically necessary on the NHS
- Not available on the NHS (such as teeth whitening)
The Benefits of Private Dental Care
Private dental care is available to everyone. As a private patient you have a much wider range of treatments available to you, so you can improve your smile without compromising on materials, services or timeframes.
In addition to accessing more treatment possibilities, private dental care comes with other advantages. NHS treatments often have long waiting lists, which can delay starting treatment. Private dentistry treatments allow patients to get started much sooner, which resolves an issue before it gets worse.
Private dental care patients also benefit from:
