What Does NHS Dentistry Cover?
The NHS provides access to essential dental care to help keep your mouth, teeth, and gums healthy. NHS treatment covers everything needed to restore your oral health — from preventative care to restorative treatments.
Treatments available through the NHS include:
Routine check-ups and X-rays
Fillings, extractions, and root canal treatments
Scale and polish (if clinically necessary)
Emergency and urgent dental care
Your dentist will always recommend the most appropriate treatment for your needs, based on NHS clinical guidelines.
What you pay will depend on the treatment that you have. Here is the basic NHS banding for dental treatment. Some people may be exempt from treatment and if that is true in your case, let our reception staff know.

If the additional treatment needed is in a higher band, you’ll have to pay for the new NHS course of treatment.
After 2 months have passed since completing a course of treatment, you’ll have to pay the NHS charge band for any further NHS dental treatment.

These are:
