Where possible, we aim to treat all our patients on the NHS, but there are certain dental treatments that we are not allowed to supply under the current NHS guidelines. These treatments include tooth whitening and cosmetic dentistry. We therefore provide a full range of private options at our Bathgate Dental Practice and Fauldhouse Dental Care dental practices to all our patients. Contact us to make an appointment.
