NHS vs Private Dentistry in Glasgow

NHS dental care in Scotland works differently from England. NHS dental examinations are free for everyone in Scotland, and for other treatment most patients pay 80% of the cost up to a maximum of £384 per course of treatment, with many people exempt entirely. Private dental practices in Glasgow set their own fee schedules and often provide a broader range of treatments with shorter wait times.

Glasgow has a healthy mix of NHS and private dental care. Many practices across the West End, Shawlands and Dennistoun operate as mixed practices, allowing patients to access NHS treatment for routine needs while opting for private care when they want cosmetic or specialist procedures.
