Joining Bearsden Dental Care

Registering is simple. Send us a short enquiry or call, and we'll explain your options and book your first visit. Your medical history is taken in person at the practice, never online.

Thinking of joining us? Call or send an enquiry and we'll tell you about NHS and private places. How to register

To confirm: Are you taking new NHS patients, private patients, or both? The banner will say exactly that.

Your choice

NHS, private or Denplan: which is right for me?

You can choose NHS care, private care or a Denplan payment plan, and mix NHS and private for different treatments. Here's the difference in plain English.

NHS

Treatment you need to keep your mouth healthy, at the charge set by the Scottish Government.

How you pay
Check-ups cost nothing. For treatment, you pay 80% of the NHS fee, and never more than £384 for a course of treatment, unless you're exempt.
What it covers
Examinations, X-rays, clinically needed hygiene, fillings, extractions, root canal treatment, crowns, bridges and dentures.
Who it suits
Most of our patients, and everyone who qualifies for free NHS care, including all under-26s.

Private, pay as you goTo confirm

Pay item by item, with a wider choice of materials and treatments.

How you pay
We'll give you a written estimate. You pay for each item as you have it.
What it covers
All of our treatments, including those the NHS doesn't provide, such as implants, whitening and cosmetic tooth alignment.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants a particular material or treatment, either alongside NHS care or instead of it.

To confirm: Would you like to publish a private fee guide ("from" prices)? We'll add one once you supply the figures.

DenplanTo confirm

Private dental care paid for by a fixed monthly Direct Debit.

How you pay
A set amount each month. The plan you choose decides what's included.
What it covers
Usually your routine check-ups and hygiene visits; some plans include routine treatment as well.
Who it suits
Regular attenders who prefer private care and like to know their monthly cost.

To confirm: Which Denplan plans do you offer (e.g. Denplan Care, Denplan Essentials), at which practice, and at what monthly fee band? We'll only state what you confirm.

Questions

Do I need to register to be seen?

To receive the full range of NHS care, including regular check-ups and emergency care, you need to be registered with a dentist.

Can I register my whole family?

Yes. Call us or send one enquiry and tell us who you'd like to register.

I'm anxious. Can I tell you before I come?

Please do. It helps us plan a longer, calmer first visit.

All fields are required unless marked optional.

Who would you like to register?
For a child, the parent or carer's name.
We'll call you to arrange things.
What kind of care are you interested in?
When's best to call you?
For example, if you're nervous or need step-free access. Please don't include medical details: we'll ask about your health in person.

In pain or need help today? Please phone 0141 942 8811 rather than using this form, or see emergency help.
