Treatments and prices

No one wants any surprises at the dentist. So we want to let you know, that for some more complicated treatments (like teeth straightening, implants etc.), due to the personalised nature of the treatment, the cost may vary to what is shown below. We’ll always provide you with an itemised cost of your treatment, so you will always know where you stand before any treatment starts.

No, orthodontics for adults is becoming more and more common. We can talk through your options with you.

We do understand that some people really struggle with dental treatment. But we have lots of ways to help put you at ease. Please just tell us how you feel and what worries you, and then we can work together to decide on the right approach.

Generally we recommend twice yearly check-ups every six months. However, this varies on a case by case basis. Your Bupa Dental Care dentist will talk to you about when and how often we need to see you.

Fillings repair small holes in your tooth enamel. If they aren’t filled, the decay will deepen. You’ll start to feel pain, and you could end up needing root canal treatment, which is much more significant and costs more. So although you might not feel pain right now, it’s best to repair these holes as soon as possible.
