Private charges can be different for the same filling as you have more options - talk with your dentist. Here are the NHS charges though...

Answer 2

Since April of last year the NHS changed the way people pay for their treatment, there are now 3 bands of payment rather than pay per filling,crown,exam and so on. Band 1 is £15.50 this includes check up scale + polish and x-rays.;
Band 2 is £42.40, this includes everything in band 1 and any fillings you need. Private charges are differnt at every practice but around £40 to £50 for a filling, depending on size and shape, it could be more. Hope this helps you.

Answer 3

I think on the NHS you will be paying £42.50 for exam plus treatment .My dentist charges £62 for white fillings or £50 for the silver ones if you decide to go private.Some dentists have a payment plan where you can spread the cost by paying monthly direct debit.Joining the plan can also lower the cost of the fillings.At my dentist you save 25% on all treatments if you are in the plan.I pay £11.95 a month which covers 2 exams and 2 hygenist visits a year.

Answer 4

One filling on the NHS would cost you £42.20, this would cost you the same amount regardless of whether you needed one or 4 fillings, it's a set fee for a set course of treatment.
To have fillings done on a private basis is down to each individual dentist, both my dentists start charging £50 upwards for white fillings, they base this fee on how many surfaces of the tooth needs to be filled!

Answer 5

the nhs has now changed there costs so no matter what nhs dentist you use the costs are all the same. they are set to 3 basic sosts the first one is £15.50 this is for a check up and xrays. the second costs jumps up to £42.00 this covers a check up xrays and a clean and also one more difficult treatment such as a filling or tooth extraction. the next cost is a big jump and is £180.00 this is if you need more than one large treatment such as several filling or tooth extractions or any other major treatment. im afraid i dont know the private cost and i think this may vary from dentist to dentist. hope it helps!

Answer 6

NHS charge is £42.40 for one or more fillings.
Private charge can be anything form £60 up, the dentists decide how much they will charge privately so it is different in each private practice.
The way the NHS price scheme is worked out is as follows:

£15.50 - Check up, x-rays, small amount of cleaning (scale and polish).
£42.40 - Check up, x-rays, cleaning, fillings, extractions etc.
£189.00 - Check up, X-rays, Cleaning, filling, Extractions, Crowns, Dentures, Bridgework.
