Your local NHS dentist in Westbury
At Dentalcare Westbury, we greatly value the NHS service and all that it stands for. We believe that dental treatment should be available to everyone and for that reason, we are proud to offer NHS dentistry to our patients.
NHS treatment will cover any form of dental treatment that is necessary to keep your teeth and gums healthy. It generally does not cover other forms of cosmetic treatments such as dental veneers or teeth whitening as these treatments are not considered essential to the health of your teeth. Orthodontic treatment and dental braces are free to those patients under the age of 18 who clearly need it.
If you are an NHS dental patient, you are welcome to pay for non-essential cosmetic dental treatments, and we offer flexible finance to help with this.
