Exemption from NHS charges
Some N.H.S. patients are entitled to either full or partial exemption
from charges. If you think that you may qualify, please ask.
Changes in the regulations mean that we now have to check a patient's entitlement
to exemption from charges so please bring some documentary evidence when you
come for treatment.
Private
Treatment Items
Some items of treatment are not available on the NHS, e.g. certain types
of crowns, white fillings in back teeth and some types of denture may
need to be offered to patients upon a ‘private’ basis. Where this is necessary,
the dentist will explain the treatment to you, and will give you a printed
estimate of likely costs. Please feel free to contact the surgery if you
require clarification of your treatment plan or estimate. Our reception
team can often answer your questions or can arrange for the dentist to
speak to you.
Estimates
for NHS treatment
If, following a check-up you need further treatment we will
give you a treatment plan showing the estimated cost.
Please feel free to contact the surgery if you require further clarification
of your treatment plan or estimate.
Our reception team can often answer you questions or can arrange for you
to speak to your dentist.
