Some of the key benefits of private dental care are listed below:
• Under the current NHS system, the routine examination is set at a minimum 12-month interval, with review appointments within that time only available to patients with higher risk factors.
Private patients can continue to access 6 monthly examination appointments, if they wish.
• Your dentist can afford to allocate more time to your care.
• There are no restrictions on the treatments we can offer.
• There are no restrictions on the materials we can use. All restorations will be tooth coloured and mercury free, unless you choose otherwise.
• Superior quality crowns and dentures can be provided.
• Sophisticated new equipment and digital technologies, which are revolutionising some dental treatments, will be available when you need treatment. One example is the use of digital scanning in the manufacture of superior quality crowns and dentures.
• The waiting times for private appointments are generally shorter than the wait for NHS appointments.
