NHS Fees

It is important to be aware that the NHS fees that we charge are set by the Scottish Government and not by the Deveron Dental Centre.

Dental examinations are free to all patients and are available every six months.

Not all treatments are permitted by the NHS.  Cosmetic dental treatments such as tooth whitening, or white crowns/fillings on your back teeth, are only available on a private basis.  If you opt for one of these treatments, your registration with the NHS will not be affected.

A detailed written estimate, showing the approximate NHS fees involved will be provided for you at the beginning of each course of dental treatment.  If there is any change to this estimate, we will inform you.

Am I entitled to receive free NHS treatment?

All UK Citizens and nationals of other qualifying countries are entitled to use NHS dental services.  However, unlike GP services, there is usually a charge made for NHS dental services.  The charge depends on the type of treatment provided.

You will be exempt from NHS charges if, when your treatment begins, you are:

Under 18 years of age

Aged 18 and in full time education

Pregnant or have had a baby in the 12 months prior to treatment starting

Entitled to, or named on a valid NHS tax certificate

Receiving or your partner is receiving income support, income based job seekers allowance or pension credit

Named on a valid HC2 certificate

If you hold an HC3 certificate, you may receive some help towards your dental treatment.

In some cases, you may be able to receive help with health costs.  Please complete an HC1 form, either online or please call 0845 850 1166 to request one to be posted to you.

We would be very grateful if you could bring proof of your exemption with you to your dental appointment.  Thank you.
