Welcome to Kings Heath Dental Practice
Our practice offers a full range of NHS treatments. Dentistry is one of the few NHS services where you have to pay a contribution towards the cost of your care.
It falls into 3 price bands;
• BAND 1; this covers an examination, diagnosis, (including x-rays), advice on how to prevent future problems, a scale and polish IF clinically needed and preventative care if appropriate.
• BAND 2; this covers everything listed in Band 1, plus any further treatment such as fillings, root canal treatment or removal of a tooth.
• BAND 3; this covers everything listed in Bands 1 & 2, plus crowns, dentures, bridges and other laboratory work.
Any treatment that your dentist believes is clinically necessary to achieve and maintain good oral health should be available on the NHS.
You do not have to pay charges if;
• You are having stitches removed
• Your dentist has to stop the bleeding in your mouth
• Your dentures need repair
