Private dentistry offers patients with more flexibility when it comes to both the dental treatments and appointments that are available. In particular, seeing a private dentist can be ideal if you have a busy lifestyle and cannot schedule an appointment during work hours. You may also be struggling to find a dentist in your area due to closed or extremely long waiting lists.
Many patients also mix NHS and private dentistry, especially if the treatment they require isn’t offered on the NHS.

FAQs
What Is A Private Dentist?
A private dentist can offer a greater range of treatments that are either not available on the NHS or would incur a longer waiting time. You may also be an NHS patient who requires dental treatment, particularly emergency treatment and you are unable to find a dentist to treat you.
Appointment times with private dental treatment may also be offered at more convenient times, making it better suited to those who work during the day. Also, the duration of an appointment is usually longer when it is a private dentist appointment.
Private dentists may include those with greater specialism, including those who work outside of the NHS. This may give you access to more advanced treatments that the NHS does not provide. Also, cosmetic dental treatments such as tooth whitening and dental implants are not usually available on the NHS.
While private dentistry is more expensive, the cost is regulated by the government ensuring the price of accessing treatment remains consistent.
How Often Should I See My Dentist?
Based on our findings, you may require ongoing treatment. If this is the case, we will give a full explanation of how many treatments you will need and how often you will need to come back and see us.
Can An NHS Patient Use A Private Dentist?
What is a Dental Hygienist Appointment?
During your appointment, your dental hygienist will carry out a thorough examination of your mouth. A scale and polish will be performed, which will remove any tartar or plaque buildup. An additional clean will remove any superficial stains on the teeth.
Your hygienist will also provide tailored advice on how you can improve your oral hygiene. This may include advice about brushing technique, flossing, interdental brushes. Also, they will advise you about any necessary dietary changes that will help protect your teeth from decay.
We recommend booking in for a dental hygienist appointment in addition to regular dental treatment, as both work in tandem to promote healthy teeth and gums.
