Treatment Costs
You need to know what dental treatment costs. We offer you the choice of 2 alternatives: 1. the treatment fee guide below or 2. the Lawrence & Pinkerton Dental Plan (Adult and Children's versions) We are upfront about our costs, and will always quote for any treatment we discuss. However, as a guide, our fees structure is as follows: (please click here for a print version of our treatment costs) We wish to continue offering a very high standard of care to our patients and have developed a private Dental Plan that encompasses these aims at a reasonable monthly fee. |

| Dental Fee Guide 2010 | |
| Regular examination |
£40, £25 for 18-21yr olds
This includes screening for any signs of potential breakdowns in dental health, or early damage or decay. Preventive advice. Identification of repairs/ restorations/ reconstructions required.

| Regular hygienist visit with Dental Hygienist |
£50 for a usual 30 minute appointment and £25 for a 15 minute session,
which is typically what a child needs
Specific monitoring of health of gums, and control of plaque. Preventive advice. Plaque control advice. Removal of hard plaque (calculus). Polishing of teeth. |
| Radiographs | One: £22
Two: £30
Radiographs (x-rays) are necessary to see what is happening under, between or inside teeth, to check the health of bones, to identify cavities we can not see from the tooth surface. Our radiographic equipment, in it's own lead lined area, produces high quality radiographs that are digitised and can be shown to patients on a computer screen in the surgeries. |
| Fillings | From £98 We prefer to offer non metal fillings where possible such as CEREC. However, there are some situations where silver amalgam is necessary, and we will always discuss the options with you. |
| Crowns | From £500 We offer CEREC ceramic crowns although some circumstances may require gold or other materials. |
| CEREC Ceramic Restorations | From £495 CEREC ceramic material is very strong, involves minimal removal of healthy tooth and is more compatible with tooth structure than metals. |
| Whitening |
£500
An easy non destructive method of whitening your teeth. |
| Extractions |
From £100
We try to avoid this treatment - as we believe in saving teeth. It can also be more costly to replace a missing tooth than to treat it! However, if necessary we ensure the patient is as comfortable as possible during the procedure, and that we use the absolute best techniques. |
