NHS Patients

NHS dental charges from 1 April 2019:

The charge you pay depends on the treatment you need to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy. You will only ever be asked to pay one charge for each complete course of treatment, even if you visit your dentist more than once to finish it.

If you are not exempt from NHS charges, you should pay one of the following charges for each course of treatment you receive:

Band 1 course of treatment: £22.70.
This covers an examination, diagnosis (eg x-rays), advice on how to prevent future problems, a scale and polish if needed, and application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealant. If you require urgent care, even if your urgent treatment needs more than one appointment to complete, you will only need to pay one Band 1 charge.

Band 2 course of treatment: £62.10
This covers everything listed in Band 1 above, plus any further treatment such as fillings, root canal work or if your dentist needs to take out one or more of your teeth.

Band 3 course of treatment: £269.30
This covers everything listed in Band 1 and 2 plus crowns, dentures and bridges.

Exceptions:

You do not have to pay for NHS dental treatment if, when your treatment starts, you are:

  • under 18 years of age
  • under 19 years of age and in full-time education
  • pregnant or you have had a baby in the 12 months before treatment starts
  • staying in an NHS hospital and the hospital dentist carries out your treatment an NHS Hospital Dental Service outpatient (although you may have to pay for your dentures or bridges)

You can also get free NHS dental treatment if, when the treatment starts or when you’re asked to pay:

  • you’re included in an award of Income Support, Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income-Related Employment and Support
  • Allowance or Pension Credit guarantee credit
  • you are named on, or entitled to, a valid NHS tax credit exemption certificate you are named on a valid HC2 certificate
  • If you are named on a valid HC3 certificate, you may not have to pay for all your NHS dental treatment. HC2 and HC3
  • certificates are issued under the NHS Low Income Scheme – see below.

You will not be exempt from paying for NHS dental treatment because you receive one of the benefits below when paid on their own:

  • Incapacity Benefit
  • contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance
  • Disability Living Allowance
  • Council Tax Benefit
  • Housing Benefit
  • Pension Credit savings credit
  • Proof of your entitlement:

You will be asked to show your dentist written proof that you are entitled to help with dental treatment costs. This will vary depending on your circumstances.

Patients Feedback

  • “Dentist made me feel relaxed, she was informative throughout the procedure and checked that I was comfortable”

    Dawn R
  • “All round excellence. Cheerful, welcoming, helpful receptionists, extremely clean reception and waiting area, very sympathetic, caring and reassuring dentists and dental nurses/assistants.”

    Trevor H
  • “The Practice was quiet at the time of my appointment and I did not have to wait for my appointment. The new dentist I saw was friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel at ease. The staff are friendly and the visit was a pleasant one.”

    Anthony G
  • “I am quite a nervous patient and my dentist and assistant very much put me at ease before and during my appointment. Very thoughtful and respectful in their treatment of me.

    I had a call later in the day from the surgery to make sure I was ok which I really appreciated.”

  • “My son and I had it appointment at 9am, we were seen promptly by the dentist who was both knowledgeable and courteous.”

    Michael S
  • “We consider ourselves lucky to have found this Dental Practice when we moved to the area. Our confidence has been reinstated with Dentists.

    At SCA Trafalgar the reception staff are polite and welcoming. We are registered with Karen who is caring, gentle and professional. We are very satisfied with this Practice and if the occasion arises we would recommend.”

    Ken C
  • “I’ve been a patient of yours for 8 years now, I’ve gone from being petrified of dentists to being very very confident, my dentist is Karen and it’s actually a pleasure seeing her.
    The receptionists are very welcoming too, I asked to get my grandson an appointment, unfortunately I had to wait a few weeks, but I’m prepared to wait as I can’t think of a nicer dentist surgery for him to come to, everyone is lovely – 10 out of 10 to all the staff.
