Private Health Care

Why choose private dental care?

We appreciate that treatment costs can be expensive and that to be able to afford the treatment you’ve always dreamed of, you may need some assistance in paying for this.

Don’t let upfront costs delay the beginning of your dental and spa treatment. Practices that are in partnership with financial services, who will tailor a finance package to suit you.

Whether it’s interest-free credit over 6 months or low-interest rate finance over an extended period, our Business Support Manager will discuss the options with you in detail. Finance for treatment can be set up with 24 hours.

Most common private procedures:

  • Tooth whitening (This is an at-home process, you will wear whitening trays for around 2 hours per day for 2 weeks and your tooth shade will lighten)
  • Airflow treatment (This is a stain removal treatment where your teeth are sprayed with small calcium particles in a powder form to remove any stains you have due to smoking, tea, coffee or red wine)
  • White fillings (This is an option available if you didn’t want to go ahead with the NHS amalgam (silver) fillings for a more aesthetically pleasing smile)
  • Flexible dentures (This is a treatment available for partial denture wearers who struggle with the hard plastic or are finding the denture a little loose, the material is a lot softer and the clasps hug around the existing teeth for support.)
  • Smile makeover (This is a cosmetic solution that can include veneers, white fillings and implants to improve your smile)
