NHS & private care
01. Your care
Pick a treatment to see what it involves and what to expect. All under one roof.
A check-up is a full look at your teeth, gums and mouth, with digital X-rays only when they are needed. Hygiene visits remove the plaque and tartar that brushing misses, and you get practical advice for home.
02, Money, made simple
See whether you can be seen on the NHS, and get a clear guide to our private fees before you book.
Who we see, and how, right now.
NHS charges in England start at £27.40 (Band 1). Children under 18 and other exempt groups pay nothing.
Private fees, to help you plan.
Private fees. Final fees depend on an individual assessment, and you get a written plan before any treatment.

04. Patient reviews
Sample comments, to show the layout. Real comments, used with each patient’s written permission. Nobody was paid or offered anything for them. Everyone’s experience is different, and treatment always starts with an assessment.
“I had put off the dentist for years. James showed me the scan on screen, explained exactly what he could see and what it would cost, and never once made me feel judged.”
“Rang at half eight with a cracked tooth and was in the chair before lunch. They told me the price before they started.”
“Eleanor walked me through the aligner plan on the screen so I could see what would move and roughly how long it would take. No hard sell at all.”
“Careful, thorough hygiene visit and good advice. Parking on North Lane is a nightmare when there is a match on, so get the bus if you can.”
“Both of our kids are seen here on the NHS. Megan is brilliant with our youngest, who used to cry at the door.”
05. Before & after
Patients of ours, before and after treatment, shared with their written consent. Drag the handle to compare.
Demo practice: these are drawings, not patients.
Every case lists who treated it and how long it took, because your own plan starts with an assessment, not a photo.

Illustration for this demo; a practice shows its own patients’ photos here. Results vary from person to person.
