NHS Dental Treatments
At Maple Dental Clinic, we provide a full range of NHS dental treatments designed to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy. NHS treatment focuses on clinically necessary care to prevent, diagnose, and treat dental problems.
​
Our NHS dental services include:
​
Routine Dental Examinations
Regular check-ups allow our dentists to assess your oral health, detect any early signs of decay or gum disease, and provide advice on maintaining a healthy smile.
​
Preventative Care
We offer guidance on brushing, flossing, diet, and lifestyle habits, along with professional cleaning where clinically required to help prevent dental problems before they develop.
​
Fillings
If tooth decay is present, NHS fillings are used to restore the tooth and prevent further damage.
​
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, safe and comfortable extractions are carried out to protect your overall oral health.
​
Root Canal Treatment
Where infection affects the inner part of a tooth, root canal treatment may be provided to save the tooth and relieve pain.
​
Crowns, Bridges & Dentures
Where clinically necessary, NHS options are available to restore missing or damaged teeth and improve function.

We provide urgent NHS appointments for issues such as severe toothache, swelling, or dental trauma, helping you get the care you need quickly subject to availability.
