NHS or private — which is right for you?
NHS care covers everything clinically necessary to keep your mouth healthy at fixed prices. Private dentistry in Birmingham typically offers shorter waits, longer appointments and cosmetic options such as implants, veneers and Invisalign that the NHS does not fund. Many Birmingham practices are mixed, so you can combine NHS routine care with private treatment when you choose.
