Treatment Costs

Cost of private dentistry
in West Byfleet.

We believe in transparent pricing. Before any treatment, you'll receive a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what to expect.

It depends on the treatment. Routine care like check-ups and hygiene visits are very affordable, especially with our membership plans. For larger treatments, we offer finance options to help spread the cost.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions
about private dentistry.

  • How much is a private dentist near West Byfleet?

    Private dental costs vary depending on the treatment you need. A routine check-up at York House starts from £52, while more complex work like crowns or implants is priced individually. We always provide a clear, itemised quote before any treatment begins, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • What is the difference between NHS and private dentistry?

    NHS dentistry focuses on clinically necessary treatments at a lower cost. Private dentistry offers wider treatment options, longer appointment times, cosmetic treatments not available on the NHS, more consistent dentist continuity, and often more flexible scheduling. Many patients find the extra investment worthwhile for the quality of care and choice.

  • Is there a family dentist in West Byfleet accepting new patients?

    Yes, York House Dental Practice is currently accepting new patients. We're a family-run practice with experience treating patients of all ages, from young children to grandparents. Our team takes a gentle, patient-centred approach that works well for the whole family.

  • Do I need to register with a private dentist?

    Unlike some NHS practices, private dentists don't typically have a formal registration system. You can simply book an appointment whenever you need one. However, we do recommend an initial consultation so we can understand your dental history and assess your current oral health.

  • What if I have a dental emergency?

    We leave space in our daily schedule for emergency appointments. If you have a dental emergency, call us on 01932 348864 as early as possible and we'll do our best to see you the same day. We understand dental pain doesn't wait for convenient times.

  • Is private dentistry worth the cost?

    For many patients, yes. The benefits include longer appointment times, a wider range of treatment options (including cosmetic procedures not available on the NHS), consistent care with the same dentist, and access to modern technology. Many patients also appreciate the more relaxed, unhurried atmosphere of a private practice.

  • Do you offer payment plans or finance options?

    Yes, we offer dental finance options through our partner Tabeo to help spread the cost of treatment. This makes private dental care more accessible, allowing you to budget for larger treatments over time rather than paying upfront.

  • What areas do you serve near West Byfleet?

    We welcome patients from across Surrey and surrounding areas, including Woking, Byfleet, Weybridge, Addlestone, Chertsey, Cobham, and Walton-on-Thames. Our practice on Lavender Park Road is easy to reach with ample parking available.

  • Can I get cosmetic treatments at a private dentist?

    Absolutely. Private dentistry opens up a full range of cosmetic treatments including professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, Invisalign clear aligners, and complete smile makeovers. These treatments aren't available through NHS dentistry. Your dentist will discuss what's possible during a cosmetic consultation.

  • How often should I visit a private dentist?

    We generally recommend a check-up every six months for most patients, though some may benefit from more frequent visits depending on their oral health. Regular visits help us catch any issues early and keep your teeth and gums in great condition.

  • Do you treat children at your practice?

    Yes, we're happy to see patients of all ages. Children are welcome at York House. We focus on making dental visits positive experiences, building good habits early and helping young patients feel comfortable in the chair.

  • What's included in a new patient examination?

    Your first visit includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. We also discuss your dental history, any current issues, and your goals for your smile. X-rays may be taken if needed for a complete picture.

  • Is York House a NHS or private dentist?

    York House is primarily a private dental practice. We believe this gives us the freedom to provide the level of care and range of treatments we want to offer. However, we understand that not everyone can afford private dental care, and we're happy to discuss your options and any concerns about cost.

  • How do I book an appointment at York House?

    You can book online through our booking system or call us directly on 01932 348864. For new patients, we recommend booking a consultation first so we can assess your oral health and discuss your needs before any treatment plan is put together.

  • What makes York House different from other dental practices?

    We're independent and family-run, not part of a corporate chain. This means no pressure to meet commercial targets or rush appointments. We've been in West Byfleet for nearly 50 years, which tells you something about the relationships we've built with our patients and community.
