Prices & NHS charges.

Quayside Dental Centre provides NHS dental treatment, which means charges are set nationally by the NHS.

Please note

We are unable to offer routine NHS dental appointments to everyone who contacts us.

Access to our service is provided through commissioned programmes and referral pathways — see below for the best way to reach the care you need.
