Questions to ask?/ Information |
| New patient consultation (Dental Check-up)
|
£92 (consultation only)
|
£95 (includes Consultation, Hygiene visit And x-rays)
|
Ask how long will a private consultation will last? What will your dentist look for on your dental check-up? Are x-rays included? What is the cost of routine appointments? At which interval do they advise you to return for a check-up? Your check-up is the best way to keep your ‘Teeth for life’.
|
| X-Rays
|
£14
|
£10
|
If it is clinically indicated you might have x-rays of your back teeth. X-rays can show decay in between your teeth or under the edge of your fillings. Finding dental problems early can save both time and money. |
| Hygiene Clean (Scale and Polish) |
£60 |
£60 |
Ask if a dentist or hygienist is doing the cleaning? You can remove plaque by brushing and flossing but only dental instruments can remove calculus. An ultrasonic scaler will be used to blast away the larger chunks of tartar and follow up with hand instruments to thoroughly clean the teeth.

Root canal treatment is needed when the blood or nerve supply of you tooth is infected through decay or injury. This would need root canal treatment. It’s a technically demanding treatment.

|
| How much does it cost to have a tooth remove cost?

Crowns are artificial ‘caps’ designed to improve the appearance of teeth or to restore badly broken down teeth. Crowns are shaped like natural teeth and fit like a cap over your own teeth. Private prices depend on materials used and time taken. Crowns are lab-made of materials including porcelain (most expensive for a very natural tooth look), porcelain bonded on to precious metal, or all-metal (generally less expensive and used on back teeth). |
| What is the price of Dentures? |
£550 for top or bottom denture |
£495 for top or bottom denture |
The private price of a full or partial denture will vary depending on what it’s made of, the number of teeth missing and the condition of the remaining teeth. Cobalt chrome dentures rest on the teeth, not the gums, and can fit better than acrylic, although you can have acrylic bonded on to chrome. |

Our mouths are home to millions of bacteria. Their presence is normal and part of every healthy mouth. The bacteria eat food particles left on our teeth, and release substances that attack your enamel over time. This can lead to tooth decay.
Why did you want to whiten your teeth?
I had for a long time thought about whitening my teeth. After learning how easy teeth whitening was to do, I decided to give it a go. My friend had also had her teeth whitened recently and it looked amazing. I wanted to feel more confident with my smile. I think that the state of your teeth can have a big impact on your overall appearance.

The Temporomandibular Joint is a hinge that connects your lower jaw bone (the mandible) to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of each ear. Your TM joints work together as a pair, and allow your jaw to move up and down, side to side, and forward and back, so you can talk, chew and yawn.

Don’t get caught up with the venue, menus and forget the only lasting memories- your photos. No doubt you’ll be smiling all day long on your big day – it’s one of the happiest days of your life after all
Your teeth affects your overall health, with gum disease linked to lots of health problems.
According to Dr Nigel Carter, Chief Executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, the link between oral health and overall body health is well documented and backed by robust scientific evidence. Despite this, only one in six people realises that people with gum disease may have an increased risk of stroke or diabetes. And only one in three is aware of the heart disease link.
