What’s the difference between NHS and private dentistry?

NHS dentistry provides treatment of a reasonable standard to secure and maintain oral health. Fees are set by the Department of Health and will be the same with every NHS dentist. The NHS does not provide any cosmetic treatments including certain white fillings, tooth whitening, braces, implants, Botox, fillers and certain types of crowns. Demand for NHS treatment is quite high and the wait for an appointment can be quite high.

Private dentistry provides the full range of treatment options. Prices are variable, and in certain circumstances can be cheaper than those set by the NHS. Reserved clinical sessions are held each day for emergencies and for patients wishing to been sooner than the nearest available routine NHS appointment. Please click here for a price list of private treatments. Our dentists are able to see you at 8am or after 5.30pm when seen on an independent basis.

Excellent dental practice and superb services. The entire team is fabulous but my favourite dentist Barzy is leaving... soon. Well, I want to wish him good luck in his future endeavours and surely, he’ll be missed.I'm glad our Lovely Christine isn't going anywhere, such an amazing manager, always greets me with a beautiful smile and I always ask her beauty secrets.Not to forget, sweet Shumaila who is a dedicated receptionist, listens carefully and answers appropriately.I'm glad to be registered in this dental practice. Highly recommend it for the best dental care provided here. Thank youread more

Used to love Mr n Mrs Rayner ... they use to make you feel like it's a family practice lovly to get see a glimpse of... her today.. New owner mangers seem to be money makers I guess yes in this day and age there is alot of competition so hardly do blame them but its not hard to keep the warmly family value the place use to have which I feel no longer has such a shame. Mr & Mrs Rayer are such gems and such a delight shame they retired only giving a 4 because of themread more

I keep getting messages for check up appointments would not go back if it was free - had 3 appointments in total had... been made to wait for the first two after I had arrived - 1st appointment they did a check of my mouth and didn’t really pay attention to my concerns until I consistently spoke about them - apparently they couldn’t see them on the x ray - arrived late for the third one (which I rang to advise them of) arrived with no other patient in the building so they had no other appointments that afternoon I’m assuming to then be told I was late by the receptionist (who said this to me as though I was a poor puppy and whilst pronouncing my name wrong) then was advised I would need to pay a late fee and that I had lost my deposit so yes not happy with the service. I expected more from them considering they had 5 stars on here but sadly I did not receive the services received by othersSecond star due to cleanliness other than that I was not happyread more
