Additional Information

What If I Need More Treatment?

If, within two calendar months of completing a course of treatment, you need additional treatment from the same or a lower charge band (e.g., another filling), you won’t have to pay anything extra.
However, if the additional treatment falls into a higher band, you’ll need to pay the appropriate NHS charge for the new course of treatment.
After two months, any new treatment will require payment of the relevant NHS charge band.
