Clear pricing. NHS & private care, side by side.
At UHP Dentalcare we provide a full range of general dental services on both NHS and private bases. Below is a plain-English summary of the NHS bands and a guide to our most-requested private treatments (March 2025). A written plan is issued for every course of treatment at your assessment.
General dentistry
A full range of general dental services focused on preventing problems before they start — and providing the right care when treatment is needed. Available on both NHS and private bases.
Cosmetic dentistry
Teeth whitening, composite bonding, teeth straightening with clear aligners, and anti-snoring devices. Every plan is discussed openly with pros and cons at the assessment stage.
Advanced & specialist care
Dental implants placed in-house by Dr Jatin Desai. For orthodontics and complex oral surgery we work with a trusted network of specialists to ensure the best outcome.
Three NHS bands. One set of national fees.
Fees are collected at the start of the examination stage, before additional or complex treatments are booked. If you are exempt from fees please let the team know at your appointment and bring evidence — it is the patient's responsibility to declare exemption, and penalty charges apply where exemption is incorrectly claimed.
Emergency treatment
£27.90
Urgent care to relieve pain, arrest bleeding, or treat trauma.
Band 1
£27.90
Examination, diagnosis, advice, X-rays if needed, scale & polish and planning.
Band 2
£76.60
Everything in Band 1, plus fillings, root canal treatment or extractions.
Band 3
£332.10
Everything in Bands 1 & 2, plus crowns, dentures and bridges.
