Osborne Dental Practice provides a full range of NHS services
You’re entitled to any treatment which you need to maintain your dental health. This could include the fitting of crowns, bridges and dentures. The dentist will give you a treatment plan after your check-up if you ask for it, which will show you what you need and the cost.
There are three standard charges for a course of
NHS dental treatment, depending on the treatment needed. These are displayed in the waiting room. Some things, such as denture repairs, are free.
We may offer to do part of the work on your treatment plan or additional treatment, privately if it is not available on the NHS. Your dentist will explain which treatments are not available on the NHS.
Some treatment is not available on the NHS and can only be done privately, for example, white fillings in back teeth,cosmetic treatments and implants.
