You are exempt from NHS dental charges if, when the treatment starts, you are:

You will be asked to show written proof that you do not have to pay for all or part of your NHS treatment. You will also be asked to sign a form to confirm that you do not have to pay. Checks are made on free and reduced cost treatment claims. If you say you have the right to free treatment when you do not, you may incur a penalty charge.

Important information about NHS treatment

Please note that NHS treatment is provided as a course of care, which must be completed within a limited timeframe. If treatment is delayed or appointments are cancelled multiple times, the course may need to be closed and a new examination will be required before further treatment can continue. This may incur a new NHS charge.

Please be aware that failure to attend appointments, repeated late cancellations, or insufficient notice (less than 24 hours) may result in removal from our NHS list and your place being offered to another patient.

In addition, if treatment appointments are cancelled on two or more consecutive occasions, a new examination may be required before treatment can continue.

We are currently only accepting children as NHS patients. To book an appointment or to add yourself to the waiting list, either visit our Contact page, call us on 01773 540648 or send us an email to info@ambervalleydental.co.uk. Alternatively you can register as a private patient.
Private dentistry offers a range of benefits to patients. One of the main advantages is the flexibility and range of treatments available, including cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, and orthodontics. Other advantage is the short-term appointment availability. Additionally, private dentistry can offer a more personalized and patient-focused approach to care, with longer appointment times and more individual attention from the dentist. While private dentistry may involve higher costs than NHS dentistry, many patients appreciate the added value and benefits that private dentistry can offer.
We are located at 28A Pentrich Rd, Swanwick, Alfreton DE55 1BQ.
