With the ongoing NHS dental crisis, we know many patients are feeling frustrated, stuck on waiting lists, or unsure where to turn.
One of the biggest myths we hear is that private dentistry is wildly more expensive than NHS care. In reality, for many routine treatments, the difference isn’t as dramatic as people think. In fact, the comparable preventative care appointments at 10 Dental of twice-yearly check-ups with the dentist and a scale and polish with the hygienist, works out at just £4.98 per month more than it would for those same appointments on the NHS.
When you look at the value - Same Day Emergency Access, reduced waiting times for treatment, longer appointment times, continuity with the same dentist and wider treatment options, private care can often represent excellent value for money.
We completely understand how important affordable dental care is. Our focus has always been prevention first, transparent pricing, and giving you clear options so you can make the best decision for your health and budget.
