I am currently at Albion dental. Not been happy there for a while. How do I go about changing to you?

@Traitor sorry to hear that. If you want to change dentist then you do not necessarily need to inform your previous dentist, we would start a new patient examination and take our own X-rays. We can take registration over the phone on 01273 488866 or alternatively you can email us on mermaidlewes@simplybright.co.uk for a registration form and go from there. Hope this helps

from nhs web site
Check up is band 1 costing 20.60 including scale
Filling is band 2 at 56.30
So if I come in and need a few fillings you will charge me 56.30 minus the exam fee
Ie 35.70 and not try to say exam free but fillings are 56.30?
Also if I need just a scale you will not charge me 20.60 for scale it will be free as listed as band 1 on nhs web site.
Hope you do not mind me clarifying and not falling for tricks

@justchecking
Yes we would remove the NHS check-up fee (band 1) of �20.60 from the NHS band 2 fee of �56.30 for the filling, so the remainig amount to pay would be �35.70
