Fees

We outline a basic fee guide below, very simply because not all 'crowns' are the same, and not all fillings are simple to do. What we will always do is provide you with different options for your treatment and provide you with an appropriate estimate of the cost of treament.

We provide an itemised estimate for all treatment and, for your convenience, fees may be settled by cash, cheque or credit card. We also accept most insurance schemes.

Insurance schemes are becoming an increasingly popular way to cover dental treatment. These are sometimes provided through schemes at work, so it is worth checking beforehand. They can also be arranged through schemes like the HSA, Cigna, Bupa or even Tesco's dental plans.

• Pay as you go.
• Most Insurance schemes accepted (e.g. HSA, Bupa, Cigna, Tesco's) (most will not cover cosmetic treatments).

"We love doing great treatment"

Please note:

CHILDREN UNDER 16 years – The Practice treats children on a private basis. Examinations are £21. Any treatment needed is quoted for on a time-basis and estimates are given at the time of examination.

These prices are based upon the average time length for any given procedure. Where treatment is involved the practice reserves the right to make price alterations and estimates may need to be adjusted after x-ray findings. The above prices are based on using high quality dental materials and private dental laboratories. We regret that NHS is not available at this practice.

The practice reserves the right to charge if an appointment is missed or cancelled with less than 24 hours notice or in a circumstance which leaves insufficient time for the appointment to be reallocated. This is charged on time lost from £45.00.

Our practice quality policy:

• Our practice aims to provide dental care of a consistent quality, for all patients. We have management systems to help us, which define each practice member’s responsibilities when looking after you.
• In proposing treatment we will take account of your own wishes. We will explain options where appropriate, and costs, so that you can make an informed choice. We will always explain what we are doing.
• We will do all we can to look after your general health. We will ask you about your general health, and about any medicines being taken. This helps us to treat you safely. We keep all information about you confidential.
• Contamination control is also essential to the safety of our patients. Every practice member receives training in practice systems for contamination control.We are fully compliant to HTM 01-05.
• We screen all patients for mouth cancer at routine checkups. We ask patients about tobacco and alcohol use because they increase your oral cancer risk.
• Practice working methods are reviewed regularly at meetings of all staff. We encourage all staff to make suggestions for improving the care we give patients.
• We regularly ask patients for their views on our services. We have systems for dealing promptly with patient complaints and for ensuring that lessons are learnt from any mistakes that we make.
• All dentists in the practice take part in continuing professional education, meeting the General Dental Council’s requirements. We aim to keep up-to-date with current thinking on all aspects of general dentistry, including preventive care, which reduces your need for treatment.
• All staff joining the practice are given training in practice-wide procedures. Once a year, there is an individual review of training needs for everyone in the practice.
