WILL I HAVE TO PAY FOR
TREATMENT?
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.

ON

At our dental practices in Aberdeen, we always give our patients a copy of their treatment plan and the price.

- 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.
