Is an NHS or Private Dentist Cheaper?


When it comes to dental care, there are many decisions to make. One of the most important decisions is whether to go to an NHS or private dentist. While both offer quality care, there are some key differences in cost and services. In this blog post, we’ll explore the pros and cons of each option so you can decide which is right for you.



NHS Treatment Options

NHS dentistry exists to ensure that you remain in good dental health. Many treatments are available on the NHS to treat things such as dental cavities, dental abscesses and gum disease. Treatments intended to improve your teeth' appearance are generally not included on the NHS, such as teeth whitening and restorative treatments focusing on aesthetics, such as veneers. You may be eligible for free treatment on the NHS if you’re under 18, pregnant or claim certain benefits. For more information about our NHS service, click here.


Private Treatment Options

Private dentists offer a more comprehensive range of services than their NHS counterparts, including cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and veneers and more advanced procedures like implants and bridges. Maintaining good dental health is still private dentistry's primary focus and goal. However, greater consideration can also be given to how your teeth look, so a broader range of materials is often available. Technology advancements such as digital scanning may also be available to you as a private patient that can enhance the treatment experience.
