NHS and Private General Dentistry

We happily welcome new patients from Glasgow and the greater U.K for both NHS and private dental treatment. You don’t need to be living locally to join an NHS practice, we even have patients travel all the way from the south of England to see us!

All treatment that is clinically necessary in your dentist’s opinion to protect and maintain good oral health is available on the NHS. This means the NHS provides any treatment that you need to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy and free of pain, including: dentures, crowns and bridges.

NHS patients, who pay for their treatment, pay 80% of the treatment costs (including any x-rays), up to a maximum of £384.

NHS treatment is free for:

• everyone aged under 26
• pregnant and nursing mothers, until the baby is 12 months old
• those with certificated exemption from payment because of income

No. You can have both NHS treatments as well as private treatments. The majority of our patients register as an NHS patient and then choose the private option if appropriate.

We like to think of investing in your smile as investing in your own happiness. That said, we know that money doesn’t grow on trees and it can be hard to justify the expenditure.

At Buttercup we believe wonderful smiles are for everyone. That’s why we’ve set up a finance plan so you can pay off your new smile in affordable monthly, 0% APR instalments.

Yes, we provide Denplan at the practice. Denplan patients pay a small monthly fee which covers check ups, xrays & hygienist visits. Denplan patients also benefit from a 10% discount on any private treatment.
