In all cases we are happy to provide our clients with a written estimate of expected costs.



Alternatively you may wish to join Denplan.  This is a private capitation scheme that allows you to budget for your dental treatment, and removes the worries of unexpected large bills.


We have schemes suitable for both adults and children. Prices start from £7 per month for children, whilst adults typically pay around £20 per month.


Please see the Denplan website for more details of the cover, and speak to a member of staff who would be pleased to arrange an appointment for an assessment.


Terms and Conditions



We accept patients for private dental care. NHS treatment is no longer available at this practice.


We are very happy to discuss your treatment with you at all stages, and will willingly supply an estimate of the cost of your treatment on request.


Please note that all treatment must be paid for in full on completion. For long courses of treatment we may ask you to pay in stages. Where treatment involves expensive laboratory work we may ask for a deposit prior to staring the work.

If you cannot attend any appointment please let us know in good time. At least one working days notice is required. We reserve the right to charge for surgery time wasted by late cancellation or non-attendance at the rate of £100 or part thereof.

Accounts not settled as above will be charged at the rate of 5% or £10 per month, whichever is the greater.

Any cost involved in recovering bad debts, for instance County Court fees, or Debt Collection agency charges, will be added in full to the outstanding account.

All dental treatment, unless otherwise notified, and subject to some sensible exclusions such as trauma, is guaranteed for a period of twelve months.
