What is the difference between NHS and private dentistry in England?

Private dentistry in England involves paying for dental treatment directly, either through fee per item or various subscription plans which may offer discounts to treatments. An example of this is Denplan or Practice Plan. The subscription fee’s may vary from practice to practice. Private dentistry is considered to offer flexibility in choice of dentist and potentially faster access.

NHS dentistry, on the other hand, is subsidized by the UK government, making it more affordable for patients, but it may have longer waiting times and limited treatment options. Availability can vary, so it's advisable to consider your preferences and needs when choosing between private and NHS dentistry.
