Our Independent scheme offers simple, but functional care to provide the dental care you need to keep your teeth and gums healthy and pain free. The scheme is based on the NHS for services and pricing.
We always make you aware of the need for you to pay for your treatment and the expected costs.
We will give you the time you need to consider whether they wish to proceed with the proposed treatment.
We will give you a statement of your account at any time that you request it.
We can give you the terms and conditions that clarify the actions that will be taken in the event of non payment and/or late payment of fees.
We can provide a receipt for any payments made.
Please note - if you have paid a deposit for an appointment, if you cancel without giving 48 hours notice, or fail to attend the appointment the practice reserves the right to retain your deposit, or part of, as a missed appointment fee.
Please note - Prices correct at February 2026; they may be subject to change. We will confirm fees at the time of booking your appointment.
We believe that all patients should be offered a full choice of the treatments available, and should be given enough information to make an informed choice. You do not need to be a private patient to have private treatment, we offer this to our NHS and Independent patients.
Private treatment options may help to provide all your treatment and a greater choice of materials and techniques in order to achieve optimum aesthetic results.
Teeth whitening
White crowns on back (molar) teeth
White fillings for back teeth provided for aesthetic reasons
Sports mouth guards
With our private options good value is as important in dentistry as in anything else, and fees reflect the standard of treatment offered. There are no standard set fees in private dentistry because every patient is different and therefore, each treatment is unique.
A personalised written estimate of the cost of treatment is supplied in advance and fees are discussed with you to ensure your complete understanding and satisfaction.
NHS dental treatment charges are grouped into three fixed bands per course of treatment:

For anyone considering using our interest-free or low cost loan facility to fund their private dental treatment, the benefits are clear:
Yes, but it is particularly useful for cosmetic dentistry, orthodontic work and implants. You can borrow any amount from £350 upwards, subject to status. You need to be over 21 to apply, and you must have lived in the UK for at least 3 years.
Dependent upon facility you can borrow typically between £250 and £50,000 (subject to credit application).
With our 0% facility you pay the cost of your dental treatment - no more and no less. Interest-free means just that! In terms of the low cost facilities, we provide you with a quotation that shows the monthly payment and the total interest payable over the term of the loan. There are no hidden costs and no deposit is required!
A deposit is not required, but if you want to pay one and so reduce the amount you borrow, this is completely up to you.
The practice staff will complete a simple, online application process with you. This will only take a few minutes. The information is transmitted to the lender immediately and a reply is usually received by return. Credit is subject to status. When approved, you can either sign a credit agreement that the practice print for you, or have it emailed for you to complete at home.
Immediately - as soon as the credit agreement has been signed.
Repayments are made by monthly direct debit, starting one month after you sign the credit agreement.
There is a statutory ‘cooling off’ period of 14 days after signature during which you can cancel the credit agreement with no cost to you. However, if you have started any treatment which would have been financed, you will have to make other arrangements to pay for it.
The finance is arranged through Dental Finance., a company authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority to carry out the regulated activity of credit broking, the lender is Hitachi.
Yes, we are registered with the FCA, so you have full peace of mind when taking our dental finance.
At Orchard Dental Practice, we believe that money should never be an obstacle to dental health. For this reason, we offer attractive finance packages to our patients. Please do not hesitate to ask us for more details.
Our range of facilities enable you to get the treatment you want - the right treatment - and pay for it over an appropriate period, ranging from over 6 months to 5 years
