Simpler Charging - Increased NHS dental charges from 1 April 2019​

If you normally pay for NHS dental treatment, there are three standard charges. The amount you pay depends on what treatment you need.

​

NHS dental charges

​

There are three NHS charge bands.

​

Band 1: £22.70 includes an examination, diagnosis and advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, a scale and polish and planning for further treatment.

​

Band 2: £62.10 includes all treatment covered by Band 1, plus additional treatment, such as fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth (extractions).

​

Band 3: £269.70 includes all treatment covered by Bands 1 and 2, plus more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges.

​

For more information, see What is included in each NHS dental band charge?

​

What if I need more treatment?

​

If, within two months of completing a course of treatment, you need more treatment from the same charge band or a lower one, for example another filling, you don't have to pay anything extra.

​

However, after two months, you will have to pay an additional band charge.

​

Emergency treatment

​

Emergency dental treatment will deal with the problem at hand and the fee for each emergency visit is currently £22.70 You may be advised to make another appointment for a separate course of non-urgent treatment. In this case, you will have to pay a second charge in the relevant treatment band.
