Private dental care is worth it for those wishing to prioritise quicker dental appointments, that are more comprehensive and personalised, but it does cost more than NHS care. The value depends on your budget and priorities, as NHS care covers essential needs and affordably.
Private options offer advanced technology such as digital scans and more comfortable environments for nervous patients. We also offer flexible monthly plans to help spread the cost of routine care. While NHS care is significantly more budget-friendly for basic treatments we offer more advanced and complimentary treatment.
A private dental plan typically costs between £22.99 and £34 per month prices vary widely based on the level of cover and care that you require. Plans provide different benefits, from routine health checks and hygienist visits to discounts on restorative treatments and emergency cover.
Choosing private dental care offers benefits like personalised, flexible appointments with longer consultation times, access to more advanced technology and treatments (including cosmetic options), in a more comfortable environment. It can be ideal for patients who need urgent care, have dental anxiety, or want more comprehensive and specialised treatment options.
Advantages of private dental care
- Shorter waiting times: You can get an appointment faster, which is beneficial for urgent issues.
- Flexible hours: We offer extended opening hours including two later evenings and an early morning, making it easier to schedule appointments around work and family life.
- State-of-the-art equipment: As a private practice we frequently invest in the latest technology for more accurate diagnoses and less invasive treatments.
- Wider range of services: Access to cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and adult orthodontics is a popular treatment in our practice. We also offer sedation services for those patients that are nervous or anxious about dental care and who may need some extra time and care.
- Specialised options: More options may be available for pain management and advanced restorative work, such as one-visit CEREC® crowns.
- Enhanced environment: We are very focused on patient comfort and offer a more relaxing atmosphere where it’s calm and centred around your pace and needs.
