At Notting Hill Dental, we provide NHS dental care focused on maintaining good oral health, preventing disease, and treating dental problems that affect everyday function. Many patients also contact us looking for cosmetic dental treatments and want to understand whether these are available through the NHS or offered privately. We support patients in choosing the most appropriate route for their needs, whether that is NHS dental care or private cosmetic dentistry.
NHS dental care is designed to keep your mouth healthy and free from pain or infection. Treatments are clinically necessary rather than appearance-focused. NHS dentistry typically covers:
These treatments aim to restore oral health rather than change the appearance of teeth.
Cosmetic dental treatments focus on improving the appearance of your smile rather than treating a medical or functional issue. Because of this, they are not normally covered by NHS funding.
Treatments not usually available on the NHS include:
If your concern is cosmetic rather than clinical, private dentistry may be more suitable.
Private dental care offers greater flexibility in treatment options and materials, particularly for cosmetic dentistry. Patients often choose private treatment when they are looking to:
Private dentistry allows for longer appointments, additional treatment choices, and a more personalised approach to cosmetic outcomes.
While Notting Hill Dental (NHS) focuses on NHS-funded treatments, cosmetic dental treatments are provided through our separate private dental practice. This ensures transparency and helps patients clearly understand which treatments are NHS-funded and which are private.
If you are searching for a cosmetic dentist in Notting Hill, treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, braces or aligners and smile-focused care are available through our private clinic. Details about fees, consultations, and treatment planning are provided clearly on the private website.
