There are 3 NHS charge bands: Band 1: £26.80 Covers an examination, diagnosis and advice. If necessary, it also includes X-rays, a scale and polish, and planning for further treatment. Band 2: £73.50 Covers all treatment included in Band 1, plus additional treatment, such as fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth (extractions). Band 3: £319.10 Covers all treatment included in Bands 1 and 2, plus more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges.
What if I need more treatment? If, within 2 calendar months of completing a course of treatment, you need more treatment from the same or lower charge band, such as another filling, you do not have to pay anything extra. If the additional treatment needed is in a higher band, you'll have to pay for the new NHS course of treatment. But once 2 months have passed after completing a course of treatment, you'll have to pay the NHS charge band for any NHS dental treatment received. Certain treatments (including lost items) are guaranteed for 12 months from the date they were completed. These are:
fillings
root fillings
inlays
porcelain veneers
crowns
Treatments provided under this guarantee must be similar or related to the original treatment, but they do not have to be like for like. Emergency or urgent treatment. If you require urgent care, you'll pay a Band 1 charge of £26.80. Most urgent treatments can be done in 1 appointment. Once your urgent course of treatment is complete, you may be advised to make another appointment for a separate course of non-urgent treatment. In this case, the relevant NHS banding charge will apply.
When you do not have to pay : There's no dental charge:
for denture repairs
