Fees & Finance
NHS FEE
There are 3 NHS charge bands.
BAND 1
£25.80
Covers an examination, diagnosis and advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, a scale and polish (if clinically needed), and planning for further treatment.
BAND 2
£70.70
Covers all treatment included in Band 1, plus additional treatment, such as fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth (extractions).
BAND 3
£306.80
Covers all treatment included in Bands 1 and 2, plus more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges.
If, within 2 calendar months of completing a course of treatment, you need more treatment from the same or lower charge band, such as another filling, you do not have to pay anything extra.
If the additional treatment needed is in a higher band, you’ll have to pay for the new NHS course of treatment.
But once 2 months have passed after completing a course of treatment, you’ll have to pay the NHS charge band for any NHS dental treatment received.
If you require urgent care, you’ll pay a Band 1 charge of £25.80.
Most urgent treatments can be done in 1 appointment. Once your urgent course of treatment is complete, you may be advised to make another appointment for a separate course of non-urgent treatment.
In this case, the relevant NHS banding charge will apply.
There’s no dental charge:
- for denture repairs
- to have stitches removed
- if your dentist has to stop blood loss
- if your dentist only has to write out a prescription – but if you pay for prescriptions, you’ll have to pay the usual prescription charge of £9.35
Certain treatments (including lost items) are guaranteed for 12 months from the date they were completed. These are:
- fillings
- root fillings
- inlays
- porcelain veneers
- crowns
Treatments provided under this guarantee must be similar or related to the original treatment, but they do not have to be like for like.

People on a low income can include some students and pensioners.
