NHS Dentistry

Here now at Twyford Dental we offer a NHS dental service – the service offers a basic level of dentistry and will not include hygienist appointments or any aesthetic or implant services we offer. You may also opt for specific treatments not available under the NHS such as all ceramic white crowns, white fillings on back teeth, dental implants, Invisalign or orthodontic treatment, IV sedation or facial aesthetic treatments. Below is a brief outline of NHS fees and what is available.

Once our contract activity is consumed we will update this page accordingly but at present we can accept all new NHS patients until our contracted NHS dental activity is consumed for 2011-2012 – the contract will run from April to April.
