How Our NHS & Private Dental Services Work

    NHS Dentistry at Summertown Dental

  • We accept NHS patients (where capacity allows) for essential dental care under the NHS dental contract.
  • NHS services typically include examinations, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and extractions where necessary.
  • We explain what is included under NHS and what additional private options are available to you.

    Private Dentistry & Cosmetic Options

  • For treatments beyond what NHS covers-or for those who prefer more choice-we offer private dental care with broader options, enhanced materials, cosmetic enhancements, and faster access.
  • Private services allow more flexibility, aesthetics, comfort and treatment choices (e.g. premium crowns, veneers, whitening).
  • We provide clear pricing and treatment plans, so there are no surprises.

“I was really nervous about my appointment, but Princess at the front desk immediately put me at ease with her warmth and friendliness. Dr. Sonia was amazing—gentle, professional, and reassuring throughout. Thanks to both of them, my visit turned into a really positive experience!”
