Fair & Transparent Dental Pricing in East Finchley

Understanding the difference in cost structures is important. The NHS provides subsidised, essential dental care in bands. For example, an NHS Band 1 course of treatment which includes an examination, diagnosis and preventative advice costs £27.40. Band 2, which covers fillings or extractions, costs £75.30. Accessing an NHS dentist can involve long waiting lists. Our private fees reflect the time, quality of materials and advanced technology we use. A new patient consultation at our Finchley practice includes a full oral health check, digital X rays if needed, and a personalised treatment plan. This approach helps detect issues early and often saves you money later. We provide a detailed breakdown of all costs before any treatment starts so you remain fully informed.

Your first 60 minute visit is a full assessment of your dental health. We look beyond your teeth to examine your gums, jaw and soft tissues to get a complete picture. We discuss your dental history, concerns and long term health goals. This thorough check up helps us create a preventative care plan that reduces future treatment needs. For example, a patient from Muswell Hill came in for a check up with no pain and our digital X ray showed early decay between two teeth. We placed a small, minimally invasive filling and this helped avoid a more complex and costly root canal later. This preventative approach underpins cost effective dental care.

We are a private practice that helps you manage the cost of dental care. We accept a range of private dental insurance plans, including Max Bupa, Denplan and Cigna, which can significantly reduce out of pocket expenses. Our team helps you understand your coverage and complete the necessary paperwork. For patients without insurance, we offer payment plans that spread the cost of treatment over an agreed period. This means you receive the care you need now without a large upfront payment. A patient from Golders Green used a 12 month payment plan to cover a dental crown, restoring the tooth immediately with manageable monthly instalments.

If your plan involves several procedures, we help you prioritise what is most urgent. We explain the clinical need for each step, distinguishing between essential treatments such as addressing decay or gum disease and elective procedures like cosmetic whitening. This allows you to phase treatment to fit your budget and timeline, starting with the most critical work to secure your oral health. Our aim is to work with you to find a solution that feels comfortable and in control of your dental health and finances. During your consultation we map out a clear, phased plan with costs detailed at every stage.

To make an informed choice about your dental care whether with our practice in Finchley or another provider here are some key questions to ask: Do you provide a written itemised treatment plan with all costs clearly listed What is included in the cost of a new patient examination Do you offer payment plans or accept dental insurance like Denplan or Cigna What are the costs for follow up appointments or adjustments Can you help me prioritise treatment to fit my budget What preventative advice can you offer to help me reduce future dental costs
