Private dental treatment

The UK attracts dental patients from all over the world, with practices in the UK having a reputation for clinical excellence, innovation and first class customer service. There is also an impressive range of treatments and services available.

If you want to have treatment in the UK, you should organise to visit the practice of your choice for a consultation. You need to take the cost of transport and accommodation into account when you agree to go ahead with the treatment and should ask your dentist for a quote that contains all the costs you will incur during the treatment process, including aftercare if this is required.

NHS dental treatment

Many people in the UK rely on the NHS for dental treatment as a cheaper alternative to private NHS treatment. However, the facilities are not usually as modern and aesthetically pleasing as you would find in a private practice, and the NHS services are merely those that are essential for good oral health; as a result cosmetic dentistry is not available.

Finding a dentist

There are many ways you can find a dentist in the UK. You can use an online search engine, follow links to dental practices and contact them directly, or you can ask people you know for recommendations. If you are living in the UK you can find an NHS dentist in your area by contacting your local primary care trust or use the NHS Choices website.
