Unless you are in one of the groups entitled to free NHS dental treatment or help with the cost, you will require to pay 80% of the cost of your NHS dental treatment up to a maximum of £384 per course of treatment. Please note that the NHS Fee structure is complex and varies considerably from patient to patient depending on the treatment required.

  • Have had a baby in the previous 12 months, or have had a stillborn baby in the previous 12 months
  • If you are named on a valid HC3 certificate you might get some help towards the cost of your NHS dental treatment.

WHAT IS NOT AVAILABLE ON NHS?

If you don’t receive any of the exemptions, you will be expected to pay for your NHS dental treatment. At our dental practice in Aberdeen, we always give our patients a copy of their treatment plan and the price.

We can offer an Aberdeen NHS dentist who is highly skilled and experienced when providing NHS treatments. This means you can expect a professional to be carrying out these treatments.

Treatments that our NHS dentists provide include:

  • Clinical examination and report
  • Basic fillings
  • Scaling for tartar removal (hygienist not available on NHS)
  • Some teeth extractions
  • Some basic tooth restorations
  • Some basic crown and bridge work
  • Root canal treatment (if within the capability of our NHS general dentist)
  • Some dentures

Cosmetic treatments are not available on the NHS, but we offer a wide range of these treatments privately for affordable prices if you wish to find out more about cosmetic dentistry. Your dentist will be more than happy to discuss this with you. Check out our Dental fee Guide and see what works for you.

The choice between NHS and private dental treatment is yours. If you are unsure about the most suitable route for you and your family, please ask us to explain the differences so that you can make an informed choice and be comfortable with the decision you make.
