All of our patients whether they are NHS or private patients will be treated with the same level of excellent care. However, there are some differences with private dental treatment that may make it more suited to your needs.
A private dentist can offer a greater range of treatments that are either not available on the NHS or would incur a longer waiting time. You may also be an NHS patient who requires dental treatment, particularly emergency treatment and you are unable to find a dentist to treat you.
Appointment times with private dental treatment may also be offered at more convenient times, making it better suited to those who work during the day. Also, the duration of an appointment is usually longer when it is a private dentist appointment.
Private dentists may include those with greater specialism, including those who work outside of the NHS. This may give you access to more advanced treatments that the NHS does not provide. Also, cosmetic dental treatments such as tooth whitening and dental implants are not usually available on the NHS.
While private dentistry is more expensive, the cost is regulated by the government ensuring the price of accessing treatment remains consistent.
