Increase in Hygienist Appointment Costs

Like many homes and businesses, we are facing financial challenges due to rising energy costs and inflation, which have significantly increased our dental practice's operating expenses. To address these rising costs and to maintain business, we have made the decision to adjust our hygienist appointment prices from £45 to £50 for a 30-minute session. We understand that changes like this can impact our patients, and such decisions are made with careful consideration. In the meantime, our co-owners are enhancing the availability of our hygienist team and upgrading the equipment and treatments in our practice. For those with existing hygienist appointments, our management team will reach out via telephone to inform you of this change, effective from May 2025. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Increase in NHS dental charges for patients
 

From 1 April 2025, NHS dental treatment charges in England will rise by 2.3%.

The cost of your dental treatment depends on what treatment you need, it will either be Band 1, Band 2 or Band 3. NHS dental charges from 1 April 2025 will be:

  • £27.40 for Band 1 course of treatment

  • £75.30 for Band 2 course of treatment

  • £326.70 for Band 3 course of treatment

Check if you’re eligible for free or reduced cost NHS dental treatment using the NHS eligibility checker at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/check.

If you’re not exempt from charges, you will only pay one charge for each complete course of treatment, even if you need to go to the dentist more than once to finish it. Your dentist may collect this charge in instalments.
