Private Dentist in Finchley for Complete Oral Health

Choose a private dentist if you value longer appointment times, a wider range of treatments, and more flexible scheduling. Many patients select us when they want cosmetic procedures not typically available on the NHS, such as teeth whitening or composite bonding. You may have dental insurance like Max Bupa, Denplan, or Cigna and want to use your coverage for high-quality care. If you face a dental issue and need a same-day appointment during office hours, we provide a swift solution. For example, a patient from Golders Green recently came to us for a chipped tooth, and we treated them the same day, restoring their smile in a single visit.

Your first visit lasts about 60 minutes. First we discuss your dental history and any concerns. Next we examine your teeth, gums, and soft tissues, including an oral cancer screening. We then take digital X-rays and use our 3D CBCT scanner if needed to get a complete picture of your oral health. Dr. Reddy will review findings with you, outline options, and create a personalised treatment plan with a clear cost breakdown. This initial consultation is designed as a conversation to ensure you have the information needed to make informed decisions about your care.

As a private practice, we offer greater flexibility and a broader range of treatments, especially in cosmetics. Appointments are longer, allowing for more thorough discussion and care. There are no waiting lists for treatment, and we use advanced technology like dental operating microscopes for precision. While the upfront cost is higher, this reflects the quality of materials and time dedicated to your care. A recent patient from Muswell Hill chose Invisalign treatment because they wanted close supervision with frequent check-ins, which fits our private model perfectly.

NHS dentistry provides functional, essential care to maintain oral health. Treatments are subsidised and priced in set bands. However, some procedures, particularly cosmetic ones like teeth whitening or white fillings in back teeth, are generally not available. Waiting lists for non-urgent treatment can be long, and appointment times may be shorter. This is a reliable option for essential maintenance, but does not suit those seeking more choice or cosmetic enhancements. Note that our practice does not offer NHS services.

To choose what's right for you, ask a few key questions of any provider. Whether you consult with us or another practice in North London, ask: What is your approach to preventive care? What technology do you use for diagnostics and treatment? Can you provide a full breakdown of the costs before any treatment begins? Do you have experience with nervous patients? What are the qualifications of the dental team? Finally, ask if they accept your specific dental insurance plan, such as Denplan or Cigna, to understand your out-of-pocket expenses.

We believe in complete transparency with our pricing. A new patient consultation is a fixed fee that includes a full examination and standard X-rays. For specific treatments, we provide a detailed plan with no hidden fees. For example, Invisalign Lite costs £3,300 and Invisalign Full is £4,400. We are a private practice and do not offer NHS treatment. We accept several major private dental insurance plans, including Max Bupa, Denplan, and Cigna. Our team will assist you with the necessary paperwork to help you claim your benefits. We recommend contacting your provider to confirm the specifics of your coverage before your appointment.
