NHS Dental Fees
Providing high-quality, government-regulated dental care for patients in Birmingham and Solihull.
Understanding NHS Patient Charges
NHS dental care is divided into three treatment bands. You pay a single flat rate for each course of treatment, even if it requires multiple visits to complete. This ensures transparent, predictable costs for your clinical needs.

Covers all treatment included in Band 1, plus additional treatments such as fillings, root canal treatment, and removing teeth (extractions).
