Your local NHS dentist in Swindon
At Dentalcare Swindon Central, we are passionate about the NHS and all that it stands for. We believe that that everyone is entitled to high quality dental care and for that reason we offer NHS dentistry to new patients.
NHS dental treatment includes anything that is needed to keep your teeth and gums healthy. For this reason, NHS services cover general check-ups and any treatment that is deemed necessary, but it will not cover cosmetic forms of dentistry such as adult braces, teeth whitening, veneers etc. If you are an NHS dental patient, you are of course welcome to pay for cosmetic dental treatments and we can offer finance plans to help with the cost.
