An NHS dentist’s role involves the following.

  • Complete information on oral health care
  • Conduct thorough teeth, gums and mouth diagnosis
  • Offer an initial consultation before treatment
  • Offer detailed information on the NHS payment procedure

How to book an appointment with an NHS dentist

When you want to schedule NHS dental services at McKennell Dental Practice, we will check your basic details, such as name, contact details and date of birth, to book your first appointment. The NHS dentist will ensure you get quality dental services for the best result. We are a child-friendly clinic that offers full, free NHS services to children below the age of 18.

What you will pay will depend on the necessary treatment to ensure your mouth, teeth, and gums are healthy. We will only charge you for the services provided in each band and several visits to complete your procedure. If your treatment isn’t free, you will pay the charges for each course of treatment.
