Your NHS Dentist in Redditch
We know how difficult it can be to find an NHS dentist in Redditch. Many people have spent months on waiting lists, or have been told their practice no longer offers NHS care. That is why we are pleased to say our doors are open: Kingfisher Dental is currently accepting new NHS patients.
Whether you have recently moved to the area, have been without a dentist for a while, or simply want a practice you can rely on for years to come, we would be delighted to look after you.
How to Register as an NHS Patient
Joining our practice is simple:
- Complete the short form on our contact page or call us on 01527 550995.
- Our reception team will confirm your registration and arrange your first appointment.
- On the day, bring a list of any medication you take and, if you are entitled to free treatment, proof of your exemption.
Your first visit is a thorough new patient examination. Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and overall oral health, answer your questions, and agree a clear plan for any treatment you need, with costs explained before anything begins.
NHS Dental Charges Explained
NHS dentistry in England is charged in three bands. You pay one charge for each course of treatment, based on the highest band your care falls into, however many appointments it takes.
- Band 1, £27.90: examination, diagnosis, X-rays, preventative advice and a scale and polish where clinically needed
- Band 2, £76.60: everything in Band 1, plus fillings, root canal treatment and extractions
- Band 3, £332.10: everything in Bands 1 and 2, plus crowns, dentures and bridges
- Urgent treatment, £27.90: urgent care such as pain relief, draining an infection or a temporary filling
Many people qualify for free NHS dental treatment, including those under 18, under 19 and in full-time education, pregnant or with a baby under 12 months, receiving certain benefits, or holding a valid HC2 certificate. Our team is always happy to help you check. For private treatment prices, see our fees page.
Private Dentistry and Membership Plans
Some treatments, such as teeth whitening, composite bonding, clear aligners and dental implants, are not available on the NHS. As a mixed practice, we offer these privately, so you can combine NHS care for your routine dentistry with private options where they suit you best.
If you would prefer to budget for your dental care, our dental membership plans cover regular check-ups and hygiene visits for a fixed monthly cost. That makes it easier to stay on top of your oral health without unexpected bills.
Complete Dental Care in Redditch
Few practices in Redditch offer such a broad range of treatment in one place. From preventative care to complex restorative work, you can be confident your treatment stays with a team that already knows you and your dental history.
Dental Check-Ups for Adults and Children
Regular check-ups are the foundation of a healthy smile. They allow us to spot decay, gum disease and other problems early, when treatment is simpler, quicker and more affordable. We provide thorough adult examinations and relaxed, friendly children’s check-ups, helping young patients build positive habits that last a lifetime.
Hygienist Appointments
Even with careful brushing, plaque and tartar build up in places that are hard to reach. Our hygienists offer a routine scale and polish to keep teeth fresh and clean, and a more thorough deep clean for gums that need extra care. For more advanced gum disease, our periodontal treatment helps protect the bone and tissue that hold your teeth in place.
Fillings
If you have a cavity or a filling that has worn or broken, we will restore the tooth quickly and comfortably. Our tooth-coloured white composite fillings blend naturally with your smile, while amalgam fillings remain a durable option for back teeth.
Root Canal Treatment with Dr Joshi
A root canal can save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. Dr Joshi has a special interest in endodontics, the field of dentistry dealing with root canals, and many patients are referred to Kingfisher Dental for this treatment. Your care begins with a root canal consultation. We treat front teeth, premolars and molars, and can also re-treat teeth where a previous root canal has failed.
Crowns, Bridges and Veneers
A crown strengthens and protects a tooth weakened by decay, fracture or root canal treatment, while a bridge replaces a missing tooth without the need for surgery. We offer emax, zirconia and PFM white crowns, adhesive bridges and veneer crowns. Each is made to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth.
Dental Implants and Dentures
Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth, giving you a fixed, long-lasting replacement that looks and feels like your own. Book an implant consultation with Dr Joshi to explore whether implants are right for you. If you would prefer a removable option, we also provide full, chrome and partial dentures.
Tooth Extractions
We will always try to save a tooth where we can. When removal is the best option, we make the experience as comfortable as possible. Most teeth can be removed with a simple extraction, while impacted or broken teeth may need a surgical extraction.
Teeth Whitening and Composite Bonding
Our professional teeth whitening safely lifts years of staining under dental supervision, with results that shop-bought kits simply can’t match. For chips, small gaps or uneven edges, composite bonding reshapes your teeth in a single visit, without removing healthy tooth.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners straighten teeth gradually and discreetly, without the wires and brackets of traditional braces. A clear aligner consultation will show you what is achievable and how long your treatment is likely to take.
Mouthguards and Night Splints
Grinding or clenching your teeth at night can lead to headaches, jaw pain and worn teeth. A custom-made occlusal splint protects your teeth while you sleep. For contact sports, a soft mouthguard fitted to your teeth offers far better protection than an off-the-shelf alternative.
Emergency Dentist in Redditch
Dental emergencies rarely come at a convenient time. If you are dealing with severe toothache, swelling, a broken tooth or a knocked-out tooth, call us on 01527 550995 as soon as we open. We keep time aside every day for urgent cases and will do everything we can to see you the same day.
