Private dentistry vs the NHS

Of course, there are some great NHS practices and for some, these are a good option. But the demand for private dentistry is increasing and there are many reasons why this is the case.

1. Over the many years we have been here, we often have positive feedback about the longer treatment times in private dentistry. We don’t like to rush our treatments and we book as much time as we feel we need to do the best job. Another way that time is on our side is we have less of a wait for appointment times. The NHS is under a lot of strain which often leads to long waiting lists and appointments get very spread out. We like to ensure that you have the choice of appointment time and get you booked in as soon as possible.
2. The NHS is quite limited with treatment options and work under three different price brackets. Sometimes this can mean that the treatment you want is unavailable to you or will come at an extra cost. We have a wide array of treatment options available to suit your requirements. We also offer dental implants, orthodontic treatments and cosmetic dentistry, so whatever you need for your perfect smile, we can offer it to you!
3. At our dental practice, we only have one dentist, Dr. Sanjay Narda, and he has been here for over 12 years. This means you will have the same dentist each time you visit which gives you continuity and peace of mind.
4. While there is no doubt that private dentistry can cost more than NHS dentistry, we offer payment plans to help you with the cost. We offer different dental monthly plans, such as Denplan and Smilecare, which cover you for anything from just your check ups and hygienist visits, right up to covering extractions and fillings. With orthodontic treatments, we allow you to pay a deposit and then pay as you go so you can pay an agreed amount each visit helping you spread the cost.
