If you are lucky enough to find one then there are price bands now which actually save you money if you are getting a lot done. The most they can charge now is £189 which is when you need crowns or dentures. My hubby had 6 months worth of extensive dental treatment done and it cost £189 that was for an appointment every week for 6 months and sedation on a number of occasions.

That's correct. However a 73 year old women not on benefits that I know had £189 worth of treatment covering front teeth being capped. A few weeks past and she lost the cap from a tooth. Needed a longer pin fitted to said tooth involving two visits and you guess a further £189 had to be paid....

Anyone know if or how long some dental treatments are gauranteed for on the NHS......If gauranteed at all.......
