Dental (community)

Most people can be treated by a local general dental practitioner (GDP); please note, we do not accept self referrals. Find out how to access a NHS dentist on the NHS Website.

Some people have special physical, mental or social needs which require the support of a specialist community dental service; that’s what we provide. You can access this service by being referred through a GP or other healthcare professional.

Normal NHS dental charges apply and payment must be made before seeing the dentist, unless you are exempt from payment.

Current NHS charges are:

Band 1- £27.90

Band 2- £76.60

Band 3- £332.10

Emergency £27.90 depending on what treatment you may need.
