The fees for NHS patients are set nationally by government and do not reflect the costs of providing the latest treatments using high quality dental materials. This restricts the type of fillings, root treatments, crowns, dentures and other treatments that dentists are able to provide.
Will I receive better dental care?
Dentists are trained to an exceptionally high standard and continue to update their knowledge and skills by attending regular post graduate training courses.
The NHS fee guide restricts the types of restorations, crowns, bridges and dentures your dentist is able to provide.
Private treatment means that your dentist is able to spend more time with you ensuring you receive the best care they can offer.
We offer a monthly budgeting scheme to make private care more affordable called Highland Dental Plan.
NHS Dental Care
We still offer an NHS service to our local community. NHS charges in Scotland are set by the Scottish Executive and are standard for all NHS patients. They are reviewed annually and usually changed in April of each year.
Some people are exempt from patient charges, these include those receiving benefit, children, pregnant women and nursing mothers.
The NHS has strict regulations which stipulate what treatments and materials can be provided under NHS care i.e. you can’t have a white filling in a back tooth.
NHS treatment can be supplemented by Private items of treatment without affecting your NHS registration i.e. you can choose to have a white filling in a back tooth!
British Dental Health Foundation
Highland Dental Plan (HDP) provides an inexpensive payment scheme to cover all necessary dental treatment. A monthly premium covers all treatment, including examinations, x-rays, fillings, root-fillings and visits with the hygienist. Any treatment that is needed to preserve your teeth is covered automatically. The only additional costs arise if treatment involves laboratory work e.g. crowns and bridges, when you pay only the laboratory fee. This gives you greater choice in deciding which type of restoration is best for you.
Why should I consider joining?
Over one thousand of our patients are already enjoying the benefits of being a member of Highland Dental Plan. Your routine dental care is covered within the monthly fee and so you will have no more bills to pay. We only use the very best bonding and filling materials to restore your teeth and our hygienists provide preventative professional cleaning of your teeth and gums to maintain them in a healthy state.
Will I receive better dental care?
The fees for NHS patients are set nationally by government and do not reflect the costs of providing the latest treatments using high quality materials. This restricts the type of fillings, root treatments, crowns and dentures that dentists are able to provide. Under HDP we are able to offer the latest materials and treatment techniques to ensure you receive the highest standard of dental care that we believe a modern dental practice should provide for their patients. Priority appointment times are also offered to our HDP patients.
What about cost?
The average monthly cost will vary for each patient depending on your future treatment needs but most patients pay around £19.00. An initial HDP consultation is free and this will allow your dentist to discuss the plan with you and give you an exact monthly cost.
