New Patient Consultation

A new patient consultation is carried out if you are attending the dentist for the first time. This consultation can either be with the Treatment Coordinator who will take your medical history and talk to you about how you feel about your teeth and discuss what treatment we can undertake to help you make the most of your smile, or with the dentist who in addition to this will undertake a full inspection of your head and neck which includes your mouth and gums as well as your teeth as well as an Oral cancer check.

With Dentist  £80.00

back to topStandard Examination

You will be asked to attend for an examination on average every 4 months. Occasionally the dentist may wish to see you more often in order to keep a close eye on any condition which requires more intensive monitoring. We recommend a four monthly examination because in our experience this allows us to monitor you oral health sufficiently to enable us to advise you on preventative measures which you can carry out at home. It also allows us to identify any newly occurring issues with the minimum amount of damage caused. The examination includes full inspection of your head and neck which includes your mouth and gums as well as your teeth.

Adult  £25.00
Child  £12.50*

* The current rate for the tooth fairy is 50pence per tooth :oD

back to topCleaning

All clients will benefit from the intensive cleaning process undertaken by our qualified Dental Therapist. Cleaning is generally best carried out using the ultrasonic scaler and airflow polishing machine for stain removal, this allows us to give you the best clean in the time available. Should you prefer the intense clean of the machine but find it uncomfortable, we can anaesthetise your mouth. If however you prefer your cleaning treatment to be carried out by hand we can do that too. Cleaning includes plaque and stain removal as well as oral hygiene instruction. You will either be advised to have a simple clean or if there is a lot of plaque present – a complex clean, which takes longer.

Simple  £40.00
Complex  £70.00

back to topX-Rays

There are a number of different x-rays that the dentist may recommend. X-rays allow us to visualise your mouth, teeth and head areas to help us to diagnose potential problems and recommend appropriate treatments.

Small x-rays  
These are undertaken by the dentist as you sit in the chair. They are digital and can be visualised immediately by the dentist. These x-rays are used to show decay within teeth.         

£10.00 each

OPG Panoral x-ray
These are taken by a large machine in our x-ray suite and scan the whole jaw area. They are used to look at roots, bone density, and to see if there is anything wrong with your jaws.                                                      

£37.00 each

Lateral Cephs

£82.50 each

back to topFillings

Depending on how well you look after your teeth you may or may not need to have a filling. A filling is necessary when part of the tooth becomes decayed. This can cause pain and discomfort. Fillings can be undertaken on all teeth both front and back. At Dentique we only use white fillings. Where it is a new filling it may be possible to use our dental laser which means no injections and no drill. To replace existing fillings and undertake repairs we anesthetise and use a drill to remove the decay and fill using white composite filling material. Fillings are carried out by the Dentist or Dental Therapist.

Therapist £75.00
Dentist £100.00*

Small back filling - 20 minutes

back to topRoot Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment (RCT) is carried out when there is decay and / or infection in the root of the tooth. RCT need not be painful or distressing if carried out correctly. Teeth have either one, two or three roots depending on their position in the mouth. The decay and infection is removed and the canals cleaned and then filled with a special root filling material. The RCT can be carried out as an independent procedure or as a precursor to having a crown fitted. RCT is carried out by the Dentist.

Incisor (front tooth) Canine (pointy teeth) or Pre Molar (first molars) all have one or two roots
around 60 minutes
£280.00

Molar (back tooth) has three roots
around 60 minutes
£320.00

back to topDress and Drain

This is a procedure that is carried out when the Dentist feels that a tooth needs time to ‘settle down’ either whilst an infection is cleared - by using antibiotic treatment, or whilst nerve irritation is left to settle. You will usually be asked to return to the surgery for follow on treatment if this procedure is carried out. A dress and drain is carried out by the Dentist.

£85.00

back to topApicectomy

This procedure is carried out when it is difficult to get to the root of a tooth through the tooth itself. It involves cutting the gum to gain access to the root and removing the tip of the root. This is a surgical procedure and in some instances can be carried out with the dental laser.

Around 40 minutes  £360.00

back to topCrown Treatments

A crown is used when there is not enough of the tooth left to fill after decay has been removed. Crown treatments range in complexity and different finishes can be used. We offer aesthetic crowns which are made to match your own teeth and are tooth coloured in appearance. We also offer non-aesthetic crowns which are made from gold and are used when a patient has a heavy bite. A crown procedure is often spilt into stages – preparation and fitting.

A patient will always require one of the following crown types, the dentist will advise the best crown finish according to your requirements and its position in the mouth.

Gold crown
£400.00 plus the cost of the gold

Porcelain bonded crown (VMK)
£450.00

Ducera Gold Crown
£475.00 plus the cost of the gold

Procera Crown – aesthetic
£500.00

Zirconia crown – aesthetic
£570.00

These costs outline the fee for the crown, the cost of the entire treatment will be outlined on your personal treatment plan.

back to topGingivectomy

A gingivectomy is sometimes undertaken when preparing for a crown. A gingivectomy involves trimming the gum to produce a better fit. This can be done using the laser or by electro surgery. 

Laser  £25.00

Standard  £9.00

back to topDental Implants

Dental implants are recommended where a patient’s mouth has missing teeth. Implants are a more permanent, reliable, aesthetically pleasing and comfortable option than dentures. First of all the dentist will carry out an in-depth assessment taking impressions of your teeth in order to work out if implants will be successful and which options to recommend. Actual Implant surgery is undertaken in several stages over a period of time.  There are two types of Implant which vary on cost and quality.

back to topTooth removal

Occasionally it may become necessary to remove a decayed or loose tooth if it cannot be filled. Tooth removals are undertaken by the Dentist and are classed as ‘simple’ or ‘surgical’. Wisdom teeth are always removed surgically. Prior to tooth removal you may wish to talk to the dentist about having your tooth restored by using a dental implant – a permanent solution to having spaces where teeth once were.

Simple tooth removal - 10 minutes
£70.00

Simple surgical tooth removal - 20 minutes
£140.00

Wisdom tooth removal - 40 minutes
£295.00

back to topValue Range

Dentique always use the best quality dental materials available – and this combined with the clinical skill of our dentists and therapist provides our patients with dental care that is second to none. Investing in great Dental care is money well spent.

Given the current economic conditions in the UK we are seeing a trend that indicates a small number of our patients are shopping around on price, and whilst the old adage ‘you get what you pay for’ still rings true, we are launching a new range of ‘Value’ dental treatments which reflect a growing need for access to first class clinical skills using basic dental materials.
