Does anyone know anything about NHS dentistry?!?

basically i had 2 crowns fitted about 3 years ago for cosmetic reasons, but this was free for me on the nhs at the time. I understand they don't do this anymore unless you need the crowns, but as they fitted them will they have to replace them? Also i would like to get my two front teeth crowned to close a gap, how much will this cost at a nhs dentist? thanks

NHS dentists under the new contract are only obliged to make you dentally fit and when they do that 2months later you are no longer their responsibility as NHS registration no longer exists. dentally fit does not include cosmetic work eg closing gaps, re your crown they are not obliged to change them and if they are sound but look unsightly... they will be left. charge wise you will pay a set fee for crowns wither its 1 2 or 10 you have done. hope this helps
Reply:Yes you have to pay I think that crowns are about £100 each on NHS Dentist. If you are in a fund like LHF you can claim an amount of money back each year to cover costly dentistry work.





Your dentist will probably advise against doing such work anyway whilst you are pregnant.
Reply:NHS dentists have really had the screw turned on them in terms of what they can now charge. The maximum amount you will pay in any continuous two month period for any number of treatments is £194. Basically you only pay for the treatment that is in the highest band. It is likely then that it will be economically undesirable for dentists to treat some patients.
