Your local NHS dentist in Pangbourne
At Dentalcare Pangbourne, we believe that everyone is entitled to high quality dental care and for that reason we offer NHS dentistry to existing and new patients.
NHS dental treatment covers anything that is needed to keep your teeth and gums healthy. For this reason, NHS services do not cover cosmetic forms of dentistry such as teeth whitening, adult braces or white fillings. If you are an NHS dental patient, you are of course welcome to pay for cosmetic dental treatments and we can offer finance plans to help with the cost.
