Will I Have to Pay for NHS Treatment?

Unless you qualify for free NHS dental treatment or financial assistance, you will need to pay 80% of the treatment cost, up to a maximum of £384 per course. However, NHS fees can vary depending on the treatments needed and individual circumstances.

Some patients may be partially or fully exempt from charges. You could be eligible if you are under 26, in full-time education, or hold a valid exemption or benefits certificate. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, our team is here to help you navigate potential exemptions.

NHS Dental Fees

NHS fees are set by the Scottish government and apply equally to all NHS dentists in Scotland. While dental examinations are free, the costs of other treatments vary. For further information on free NHS dental care or if you have general questions, you can contact the NHS helpline or visit their website.

What Is Not Covered by the NHS?

It’s important to understand the difference between NHS and private dental services. Private dentistry often provides a wider range of treatments and materials. Be sure to clarify with us before treatment begins whether you are receiving NHS or private care, as this impacts both costs and the range of services available.

NHS treatments we provide include clinical examinations, basic fillings, certain extractions, specific restorations, limited crown and bridge work, some dentures, and root canal treatments where possible. Cosmetic treatments aren’t covered by the NHS, but we offer various affordable private options.

NHS vs Private Treatment

Choosing between NHS and private dental treatment is a personal decision. If you are unsure which is best for you, we are happy to explain the differences so you can make an informed choice that suits your needs and budget.
