The NHS will not provide cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, which you may want to make your teeth more attractive, but which are not clinically necessary.
Even where treatment is clinically necessary, the dentist will offer you a treatment option that is clinically appropriate. If you choose to have alternative treatment options, then you will have to pay privately for these.
You will receive free services from your NHS dentist if you're in receipt of certain benefits or have an exemption card or certificate. For further details, please ask our friendly receptionists.
