NHS Dental Care

We provide all treatments necessary to secure and maintain your oral health. There are some treatments (mainly cosmetic) which are not available under the NHS, and you may choose to have these privately. You may also choose to have some treatment privately as an alternative to NHS treatment. If you wish to have some private treatment then we will provide you with a written estimate beforehand to detail the charges. We aim to provide preventative dentistry to help you avoid extensive dental treatments.

Replacements free of charge

If you are 18 or over and a filling, root filling, inlay or crown provided by East Calder Smile Centre under the NHS within the last 12 months has to be replaced, you will not be charged if you return to us, unless:

• the treatment was temporary; or
• it was provided against our advice; or
• the replacement is necessary because of an accident; or
• a different treatment is needed because a satisfactory replacement is not possible. Fillings
