FAQ image

Why can't you just offer NHS?

It's a question we hear often, and we completely understand the frustration many people feel around NHS dental access.

NHS dentistry isn’t something a practice can just decide to offer. The government controls access through a system of NHS dental contracts. These contracts are limited in number and are funded by the government with a fixed annual budget.

Unless the government allocates new NHS funding or a contract becomes available, we legally can’t offer NHS dental care , even if we would like to. This system means that many practices – especially newer or independent ones – can only operate privately.

That’s exactly why we created our Dental Essential Price Model. It’s designed as a cost-effective alternative for patients who can’t access an NHS dentist, offering essential care at a much lower price than standard private fees – with the flexibility to upgrade if needed.

We believe everyone should have access to quality dental care, and we're doing everything we can to make that possible within the system we're given.

As a student in the UK, dental treatments can be quite expensive — especially when you’re on a limited budget. But I was really relieved to find Smart Dental Care and their Essential Dentistry, which honestly feels like a much better option than NHS services.

I recently got my treatment done here at a fair price, and I have to say, Dr. Rucha at Trafford Dental Centre was incredible. She recommended the right treatment based on what was best for me, not just a quick fix. I’m really happy with the care I received and have now permanently registered with them. So far, everything has been smooth and professional.

If you’re a student looking for genuine, affordable, and high-quality dental care — this place is highly recommended. You get the right treatment at the right price, which is a rare combo these days!

Great dentist. Had a hygienist appointment with Mindu and she was great. No discomfort at all throughout the whole procedure. Never had an issue with any of the staff here, they've always been friendly and polite to me.
