How to Register
To register with Unit 1, you can contact the practice directly by phone. Unlike GP surgeries, NHS dental practices do not have geographical catchment areas, so you can register with any practice that has availability — you do not need to live nearby. When you first visit, bring a form of ID and any relevant medical history. Your first appointment will usually be a check-up and assessment (Band 1), during which the dentist will examine your teeth and discuss any treatment needed.
NHS Dental Costs
NHS dental treatment in England uses a simple three-band pricing system. Band 1 covers examinations, diagnosis, and preventive care such as scale and polish, and costs £27.40. Band 2 includes everything in Band 1 plus additional treatment such as fillings, root canal treatment, and extractions, at a cost of £75.30. Band 3 covers more complex work including crowns, dentures, and bridges, costing £326.70. The practice also offers oral surgery services, which are typically covered under Band 2 or Band 3 depending on the complexity of the procedure. Many groups are entitled to free NHS dental treatment, including children under 18, those under 19 in full-time education, pregnant women, new mothers (within 12 months of birth), and people receiving certain benefits such as Universal Credit, Income Support, or Pension Credit. If you are unsure whether you qualify, ask the practice or check the NHS website.
