Our NHS Dental Process

When you register as an NHS dentist patient, our friendly team will ask you to complete a medical history form to better understand your overall health. We will then arrange your first dental check-up at a time that suits you. Along with your appointment details, you’ll receive a welcome leaflet outlining the dental services we provide and what to expect as an NHS patient.

At your initial examination, your NHS dentist will carry out a comprehensive oral health review to help maintain healthy teeth and gums. This will include:

  • Reviewing your overall health and any medications you’re currently taking
  • Examining your mouth, teeth, and gums to check for any signs of tooth decay or gum disease
  • Taking x-rays if needed to identify any hidden issues
  • Offering helpful tips on preventive care, such as proper brushing techniques using fluoride toothpaste
  • Providing a complete treatment plan if any further care is required

If your dentist identifies the need for treatment, they will take the time to explain all available NHS treatment options. You will be given a printed treatment plan that outlines the recommended care and any associated costs. Should you wish to pursue aesthetic or advanced care not covered by NHS dental services, we also offer the option to upgrade to private treatment for services such as teeth whitening, dental implants, and white fillings for back teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does NHS dental care include?

NHS dental care includes preventive care, check-ups, essential dental treatments like fillings, extractions, fluoride varnish, and scale and polish. Cosmetic treatments are not included.

Do I have to pay for NHS dental services?

Adults usually pay a government-set fee. However, NHS treatment is free if you’re pregnant, had a baby in the last 12 months, or receive certain benefits. Always bring documentation to confirm your eligibility.

Can I register my whole family with an NHS dentist?

Yes. You can register as an NHS patient along with your partner and children — we recommend registering children by the time their first tooth appears or around six months of age.

What if I want cosmetic or private treatment?

Your dentist will explain which options are available under NHS dental care and which fall under private treatment, such as white fillings for back teeth or teeth whitening.
