NHS Treatments & Costs
We are fully committed to the NHS and our services are of not only good quality, but they are also affordable. Patient charges for NHS dental treatments within Scotland are regulated & set by the Scottish government alongside with the National Health Service. Some patients are exempt from paying NHS charges and receive treatment for free.
You can receive free treatment if you are:

- Named on a valid NHS tax certificate.
- Receiving Income support or Income related Employment Support Allowance.

If you are not entitled to free NHS dental treatment you are required to pay approximately 80% of the cost of your NHS dental treatment, up to the maximum of £384 per course of the treatment. Examples of costs for some standard NHS treatments are shown in the table below. Please note that NHS fee structure is extensive and varies considerably from patient to patient depending on the treatment required.
