White filling price
11 Answers
I've just paid for a white filling as an NHS patient. Is that right? Usually when I pay for a white filling I'm sure it's a lot less. Thank you

I thought maybe there was a price for private patients having private treatment, and NHS patients having private treatment. I only have white fillings because I was adivised by a homeopath not to have mercury fillings. All my other dental treatment is totally NHS. Anyway, I could've sworn I'd only paid £35 for white fillings in the past.
nhs dental treatment is not free, unless you are in an exempt group (in ft education/ on qualifying benefits/pregnant or had a baby in the last year).
Everyone else has to pay NHS charges whaich are about £16 for band1 treatment (check up/basic polish) £46.50 for band 2 treatment (fillings etc) and £198 for band 3 treatment (dentures/crowns lab work).
you only pay 1 charge for each course of treatment, so for instance if you need a check up then 9 fillings it only costs £46.50
