We are sorry to announce that we are not taking on any more NHS patients at the current time.

At Blyth Dental we offer the availability of NHS care to all our patients and our list is currently open. We have a contract with Northumberland Care Trust to provide 52000 units of dental activity per year. Once we have completed all of these we will endeavor to commission more so that NHS care is always available for everyone at all times.

The new NHS contact delivers dentistry in three simple bands

Simpler charging
If you normally pay for NHS dental treatment, there will be three standard charges.

The amount you pay will depend on the treatment you need to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

You will pay one of the three charges to the right:

Band 1     £16.20
This charge will include an examination, diagnosis and preventive care. If necessary, this will include X-rays, scale and polish, and planning for further treatment.
Urgent and out-of-hours care will also cost £16.20.

OR
Band 2     £44.60
This charge includes all necessary treatment covered by the £16.20 charge PLUS additional treatment such as fillings, root canal treatment or extractions.

OR
Band 3     £198.00
This charge includes all necessary treatment covered by the £16.20 and £44.60 charges PLUS more complex procedures such as crowns, dentures or bridges.(where clinically necessary)

This will provide you with all the dental care necessary to maintain oral health. All our NHS care uses the very latest materials to the very highest standards however does not include Cosmetic Care, Implants or Elective work. All patients will be given a printed treatment plan and estimate for complex work (Band 2 and 3) and our staff are always available to discuss your treatment needs and charges.
