NHS DENTAL BANDING COSTS AS OF APRIL 2026

Band 1 Course of Treatment

£27.90

This covers a routine full Examination of teeth and gums, x-rays, advice on how to prevent future problems, a simple scale (if clinically necessary) and application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealants.
If your dentist does not think a simple scaling is clinically necessary, it is not covered by the NHS and you will have to pay for it privately.

 

Band 2 Course of Treatment

£76.60

This covers everything listed in Band 1 above plus any further treatments such as amalgam (silver) fillings on back teeth or composite (white) fillings on front teeth, root canal treatment, extractions, adding a tooth onto an existing denture and extensive scaling (deep cleaning for gum disease/periodontal treatment).

 

Band 3 Course of Treatment

£332.10

This covers everything listed in Bands 1 and 2, plus crowns, dentures, bridges, inlays/onlays, and bite guards (anything that requires being sent to an external lab to be made).

 

Band 4: (£27.90) Urgent treatment / Assessment and Advice 

This provides patients with urgent/emergency care. Under this band you will receive and assessment, diagnosis if possible at the appointment, temporary dressings if deemed appropriate, and antibiotic cover should you need this. To see a full list of emergency services under Band 4 NHS charge, please visit NHS choices website. 

Band 4 is not a continuation of treatment, it is a ONE OFF/ ON THE DAY Urgent charge on the NHS. Sometimes we can add a course of treatment to a Band 4 claim but only certain treatment qualifies. 

The charge for a Band 4 is always the same as a Band 1. 

The NHS Banding fees are updated on the 1st April of every year. We always aim to provide up-to-date NHS fees but if you have any queries regarding new NHS fees, please contact our friendly reception team on 01384 372525.
