Choosing a Private Dentist — What Patients Should Know

Private dental care in the UK operates outside NHS funding and pricing structures, meaning patients pay directly for treatment. The key advantages of private dentistry are: no waiting lists, unrestricted appointment time, full treatment options without NHS clinical limitations, and the ability to choose your clinician. The General Dental Council (GDC) regulates all dental professionals in the UK regardless of whether they work privately or on the NHS — the same clinical standards, GDC registration requirements, and fitness-to-practise framework apply to both. Station House Dental Care is wholly private. Our clinicians provide the same clinical quality and ethical standards as any regulated NHS practice, but without the NHS contract constraints that limit appointment times, material choices, and treatment availability. All clinician GDC registration numbers are publicly verifiable at olr.gdc-uk.org.

A note from Dr Sarah Metias, Principal Dentist

"Station House Dental Care was built on the belief that private dentistry should be genuinely accessible — not just to patients who already know what they want, but to those who have been putting off the dentist for years, or who are not sure what treatment they need, or who simply want a dentist they can trust to give them an honest answer. Every patient who comes through our door gets a thorough examination, clear explanation, and a written treatment plan with costs before any work begins. There is never pressure to proceed. My team and I are here to help you make an informed decision about your dental health — whatever that looks like for you."
