We hear people wondering how they can get the best dental care. Not just repair or emergency treatments, but the sort of thorough dental care that modern patients are looking for.
The majority of NHS patients pay a certain amount towards treatment. There are exceptions – for example children under 18 and women who are pregnant are exempt from charges. Although many treatments are available from the NHS, some are only covered in certain circumstances
The cost of NHS emergency and basic treatment, such as a check-up and routine clean, is increasing to £21.60. The highest band, Band 3, covers treatments which are restorative and usually involve laboratory work. A crown or dentures will come into this category and cost £256.50. Your dentist will only be able to provide NHS treatment that is deemed clinically necessary.
Private dental care opens up a range of restorative and cosmetic treatments. The great advantage is that patients can discuss and plan treatments with a dental professional.
Private dentistry meets the needs of modern patients.
Our attitude to dentistry has changed. It’s less about pain relief and fillings. Nowadays, we all want to feel happy with the way our teeth look and feel. Comfort, alignment and appearance are all of prime importance.
With private dentistry you can feel confident that you’re getting care that goes beyond the basics to help you maintain or improve your dental health.
SpaDental practices offer a full range of treatments. Glance through the cosmetic care page of our website to explore the range we offer. If it’s white fillings, Invisalign, dental implants, veneers or tooth whitening that you’re interested in they are considered to be cosmetic options. They are treatments that represent the newest advances in dental technology. You have a choice if you want to get the best dental care in this modern age.
