Ways to pay
Pay as you go, pay monthly, or plan a larger treatment
Most people use the first two together: a plan for routine care and the fee list for anything else. Each card links to the page with the full detail.
Pay as you go
Private dental fees
Pay for each appointment and treatment at our published price. A new patient appointment is £100, a routine examination £65 and a 30-minute hygiene appointment £80. The list covers everything from X-rays to implants.

Dental membership plans
Spread routine care across monthly payments. Plan A, £16.85 a month, covers two examinations a year; Plan C, £14.75, covers two hygiene appointments; Plan B, £25.15, covers both. Plans A and B include 10% off selected private treatments (ask us which ones). Treatment is charged from the fee list, and you can start using your plan's appointments after six monthly payments.

Payment for crowns, dentures and implants
When you book, you pay half the fee as a deposit, and laboratory-made work such as a crown, bridge or denture is paid for in full at the preparation or impression appointment, before fitting. The full terms, including 48 hours' notice to change or cancel, are on the private fees page.

Common questions
Questions about dental costs
The things people ring up and ask before booking. If yours is not here, call and ask.
Do you charge for a first appointment?
Yes. If you are new to us, the appointment to book is the new patient appointment at £100. A routine examination for a patient already registered with us is £65. Small X-rays are £10 each and a large X-ray is £60, if you need one.
Which membership plan suits me?
If you come for check-ups, Plan A at £16.85 a month covers two examinations a year. If you see the hygienist, Plan C at £14.75 covers two hygiene appointments a year. Plan B at £25.15 covers both. Plans A and B also include 10% off selected private treatments (ask us which ones), and you can compare them in full on our membership page.
Do I pay a deposit?
Yes. When you book a private appointment, you pay half the fee as a deposit, so £50 on a £100 appointment. Laboratory-made work, such as a crown or denture, is paid for in full at the preparation or impression appointment, before fitting.
Could the price change once treatment starts?
Only with your agreement. If treatment shows something that was not visible at the assessment, we stop, explain what has changed and agree the revised plan and cost with you before going any further.
