• Why Choose Private Over NHS Treatment?

  A dental crown could be used for a number of other reasons, for instance:
  
  • Treatment Simply Not Available On The NHS
    Cosmetic treatments such as tooth whitening, tooth coloured fillings, crowns on back teeth and bridges in certain locations are unavailable on the NHS.
  • Quality
    The quality of surgery and laboratory materials used in NHS work are all of an internationally recognised high standard, however, many of the latest porcelains and white filling materials are too expensive to use. We constantly strive to keep abreast of the latest techniques and products and will always try to give a balanced presentation between NHS and private options.
  • Laboratory Charges
    Patients with complex tooth shading, difficult occlusions or the desire for optimum individual aesthetics often require one or more visits to the laboratory for consultations with the technician, which can prove costly.
  • NHS Decline Treatment
    The NHS has a broad remit to provide treatment to achieve dental fitness. We all appreciate that there will never be sufficient funds to satisfy everyone's needs and numerous priorities exist. In the small number of cases where the NHS refused to approve treatment it is often possible to do the treatment under private arrangements.
