NHS at Claregate Dental


Accessible NHS dentistry

NHS dentist in Wolverhampton

Claregate Dental is proud to be an NHS dentist in Wolverhampton, supporting families and children in achieving and maintaining excellent dental health. With NHS dentistry, fees for examinations and treatments are subsidised, so you only need to pay the remaining balance within your fixed price band. This ensures that essential dental care remains accessible and affordable for everyone.

NHS dentistry covers the treatments needed to keep your mouth, teeth, and gums healthy. Cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening or veneers, are not included, but we also provide flexible dental finance options for patients who wish to spread the cost of private cosmetic treatments.

Children under the age of 18 are entitled to free NHS dental care, as are those under 19 who are in full-time education. NHS treatment is also free if you qualify under the NHS exemption criteria — for example, if you are pregnant or meet other qualifying conditions.

At Claregate Dental in Wolverhampton, our NHS dental care focuses on prevention and essential treatments to protect your long-term oral health, giving you and your family peace of mind at an affordable cost.

(NOTE: We currently are unable to offer an NHS appointment, as we have a very long waiting list for new NHS patients at the practice. We only have a small NHS contract and high demand. You can add your details to the waiting list, but it will be a very, very long wait.)

    1. Is NHS dentistry free?

      NHS dentistry is free for those who qualify for it under the exempt criteria set by the NHS. This includes children under the age of 18, those under the age of 19 in full-time education, pregnant people or mothers who have had a baby within the previous 12 months, and if you receive income support.

    2. How does NHS dentistry work?

      NHS dentistry focuses on essential care that is needed to maintain your dental health. The NHS actually pays for part of your treatments, with you simply subsidising the balance. This ensures that essential dentistry is performed in a cost-effective manner, so you can receive the immediate care you need without the added pressure of financial commitments.

    3. Why isn’t cosmetic dentistry included?

      Cosmetic dentistry isn’t paid for under the NHS because it does not immediately affect your health. NHS dentistry is designed to maintain the health of your mouth and teeth, so cosmetic treatments to improve your teeth’s appearance isn’t included.

    4. What if I want cosmetic dentistry?

      We strive to keep our services open to all, which is why we are an NHS dentist, but if you’d like cosmetic dental treatments in Wolverhampton then we do have affordable options. We offer dental finance from a minimum spend of £500 so that you can improve the appearance of your teeth and spread the cost.
