A more comprehensive list of dental treatments available can be accessed on the NHS Website

What is not available on the NHS?

The NHS does not provide cosmetic treatment such as tooth whitening, which improves the appearance of your teeth but does not have a health benefit or clinical necessity. Please discuss all treatment options with your dentist and they can provide you with the necessary advice on your most appropriate treatment options.

Billingham Dental Practice is happy to provide NHS and private dental care for all patients.

As an older lady who is terrified of dentists my experience has been perfect. After some not so nice visits to dentists previously I decided to brave Billingham Dental before I gave up completely.My treatment plan is not yet complete, however words aren’t enough to describe being able to smile again or look in a mirror with a lot more confidence. (Tears of delight were shed)Can’t thank Neal and his team enough fortheir amazing talent and professionalism.I was made to feel at ease and every step is explained in detail. Would highly recommend Billingham Dental practice to anyone looking for treatment.I’m actually looking forward to my next visit!!!Thank you 🥰👌🥰

Well my first experience over the phone today with this dentist to ask if I could be a patient, was just lovely, helpful and informative and I’m now on their waiting list. The receptionist could not have been more helpful even ringing me back to see if I could get in now to get a scale and polish if I paid for it Thank you so much. 16th August 2022

Lovely clean and friendly dentist. Very efficient - In 20 minutes I had filled in new patient forms, had an x-ray, 2 injections (which didn’t hurt at all) and a tooth extracted! Importantly, I had no pain at all and whilst it’s a very professional setting, it is unusually relaxed and calm from the front desk to the dentist’s chair! Everyone is smiling! Thank you all very much! 💜
