Private Dentistry FAQs
What qualifications should I look for in a private dentist?
How do private dental costs compare to NHS charges?
Private dental care is typically more expensive than NHS services. However, private practices often offer a broader range of treatments and shorter waiting times. It's advisable to request a detailed breakdown of costs before commencing treatment to avoid unexpected expenses.
What treatments are available privately that aren't offered on the NHS?
Private dentists often provide a wider array of treatments, including cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening,veneers, and dental implants, which are generally not available through the NHS. Discussing treatment options with your Oxford dentist will help determine the best plan for your needs.
Can I switch between NHS and private dental treatments?
Yes, you can choose to have some treatments done privately while continuing with NHS care for others. However, you cannot mix NHS and private treatments within a single course of treatment. Ensure you understand the costs and implications of switching between the two. At Summertown Dental & Implants we’re one of the very dentists in Oxford to offer both NHS & Private dentistry.
Are payment plans available for private dental treatments?
We offer payment plans or financing options to help manage the cost of treatments. These plans can spread the expense over several months, making private care more accessible. It's important to discuss payment options with the practice beforehand.
How do I find a reputable private dentist?
Research is key. Look for dentists with positive patient reviews, ask for recommendations from friends or family, and verify their credentials through the GDC. Visiting the practice for a consultation can also provide insight into their services and professionalism.
What should I expect during my first private dental appointment?
Your initial appointment will typically involve a comprehensive examination of your oral health, including X-rays if necessary. Your Summertown dentist will discuss any findings with you and propose a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This is also an opportunity to discuss any concerns or preferences you may have.
Is private dental care worth the extra cost?
Many patients find that the benefits of private dental care, such as shorter waiting times, a wider range of treatment options, and personalised care, justify the additional expense. Ultimately, the decision depends on your individual needs and priorities. When choosing a private dentist, it's essential to consider factors like qualifications, range of services, cost, and your personal comfort with the dentist and practice. Taking the time to research and ask questions will help ensure you receive the best possible care.

A. Singh
Following an accident, I needed to have some dental work carried out. I had always been petrified of going to the Dentist and a Friend recommended that I visit Summertown Dentist Practice.
The Staff were all amazing and explained all my options and what exactly they were offering to do.
They made me feel very relaxed and confident, so much so that I decided to have a complete overhaul of my teeth.
I still cannot believe that I have had a wisdom tooth taken out, crowns, inlays and all my silver fillings changed to white ones.
My mouth is so much more hygienic, and I have had tooth whitening as well.
Now I cannot stop smiling and feel that my teeth will last so much longer and not give me problems.
I would strongly recommend this practice as I am extremely pleased with their service.

I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment with you.
I saw Laila the hygienist and highly recommend her service. Not only did Laila do a wonderful job of cleaning, but she also provided expert oral care advice for the maintenance and protection of my teeth. Laila was so helpful and professional and has such a wonderfully warm manner that I felt relaxed, comfortable and confident with a process I have normally felt nervous about in the past. Thank you, Laila!!! I am genuinely looking forward to my next appointment with you.
