Is Private Dental Care Worth it?

By Celia Burns on 4th June 2025

It’s completely normal to be curious about the cost of private dental care, and to wonder whether it’s really worth the investment. When you’re comparing different types of care, price is an important part of the picture – however it is only one part. What you are also comparing is the quality, the experience, and the long-term value you receive in return.

At our practice, we believe private dental care offers clear and lasting benefits that go far beyond just treating problems as they arise. From personalised attention and longer appointment times to advanced technology and flexible treatment options, private care is about putting you at the centre of your dental journey.

Here are all the reasons why we believe private dental care is absolutely worth it, for your health, your comfort, and your peace of mind:

No Restrictions

We have no restrictions on the types of treatments we can provide, materials we can use or cosmetic care we can offer to you. This means the treatment you receive will always be of high quality, and perfectly tailored to your individual needs.

No Waiting Lists

Our books are always open and there are no waiting lists to register – meaning we can see you promptly.

Affordable Payment Options

Our Lifelong Sparkle Club membership splits the cost of your healthy mouth assessments for as little as £14 per month. Members benefit from prevention of disease, a brighter smile and peace of mind – as well as an exclusive 10% discount on certain treatments.

No Targets

We have no targets to hit, meaning that we can take as much time as we need to ensure that we completely understand your concerns and your goals for your health.

Fewer Patients Each Day

We book many fewer patients into a working day, meaning that you are seen on time more reliably, and we can provide care to our very best standard.

Celia Burns - Principal Dentist & Clinical Director

My first love isn’t teeth; it’s people. That’s why I love being a dentist. It’s the best feeling in the world to be able to help an anxious patient, who has possibly avoided going to the dentist for many years, build their trust in me, and I get a real thrill from helping someone achieve the confidence in their smile that they want.
