Registering New NHS Patients
Welcoming all NHS patients, we provide a personal dental service that will include a thorough oral examination and dental treatment plan.
NHS Dental Treatment
If you decide to register as an NHS patient, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth and contact details. You’ll then be given an appointment for an enhanced clinical examination.
You’ll be asked to complete a full medical history form before your appointment, so please ensure that you bring an up-to-date list of all medicines. This medical history will need to be completed annually.
If you want to register your child, you should do this at the same time you register yourself. You don’t have to wait until your child’s teeth grow in, you can register them as soon as they’re born
NHS Treatments & Advice
As an NHS patient you are entitled to a comprehensive range of treatment, advice and care to keep your teeth, mouth and gums as healthy as possible. Your dentist will explain which treatments are available on the NHS and which are private to allow you to make an informed decision about your treatment and to understand related costs.
Treatments that you can receive on the NHS include:
- Bridges
- Crowns
- Fillings
- Root canal treatment
- Preventive advice and treatment for gum disease
- Orthodontic braces (according to strict criteria)
- Extractions (tooth removal)
- Dentures or false teeth
Cosmetic procedures will usually need to be paid for privately.
Treatment Plan
If you need treatment, your dentist will provide you with a treatment plan. A treatment plan is a document that helps to explain the treatment you need and what it will involve. It will also detail an estimate of how much the treatment will cost you.
