All NHS charges are approximate figures as they are undergoing changes given by the Health Board.

Private treatment enables us to use different quality materials and techniques that restrictions in NHS funding would otherwise prevent. It also allows the dentist to spend more time caring for you and your teeth. When your teeth have been examined, a treatment plan is agreed and a written personal estimate prior to any treatment can be provided.
