Toothy pegs?!
Question:
Toothy pegs?
Can any one tell me how much you would expect to pay for the following dental procedures on the NHS?
Filling; white/silver?
Stain/tartar removal with Hygienist
Crown replacement
Root canal
I'm trying to convince my boyfriend to go to the dentist, but he doesn't want to because he thinks he'll have to have a lot of work done. I'd like prices so a) he won't be shocked when he gets there and b) he carries on going so he doesn't need to have these things done.

Why is that when I post a question on Yahoo Answers UK & Ireland about the NHS I get random qoutes in dollars?
Answers:
Since April ist of this year there is now only price bands
Band 1-£15.90 standard check which includes xrays and scaling/polishing.
Band 2-£43.60-this covers the above and any fillings/root canal treatment.
Band 3- £194.00 again this covers both the 1/2 bands and also covers any Crowns/Dentures.
The maximum fee on the NHS is band 3-£194, the fee will not go any higher than this.
White fillings are only available on front teeth on the NHS, if you opt for white fillings on back teeth this has to be carried out on a private basis and could set you back between £60/70 per filling- dont quote me on that though, im just using my surgery as a rough guide.
It's also worth remembering if you B/F does visit the dentist and finds out he need's Root canal treatment, and a crown to go over the remaining tooth, it will be silver crown if it's a back tooth, nhs dont allow white crowns on back teeth.
If he opts for a white crown this will have to be done privately and so will the root treatment, you cannot mix/match Nhs/private treatment on the same tooth!
hope this has been of some help!
