NHS or private dentist ?

Hello,
I was just wondered if anyone could tell me if there is much/any difference between NHS and private dentistry in terms of quality and service (not in terms of money because I have taken out the most comprehensive HSA dental cover to cover most expenses).
I haven't been to the dentist for 3 years since my old dentist retired and as well as a checkup and hygenist treatment I think I will need treatment as my back teeth are hurting. If I am on this plan would people recommend that I register with an NHS dentist (I have found one a few miles away accepting NHS patients) or a private one (lots of them where I live)?
Also does anyone have experience of the Oasis chain, because that't the private dentist I am considering.
Thanks in advance.

def go with a private dentist ( I am not sure about oasis) I would really stay away from a large chain and go for a good private one where you get the best one to one, the best thing to do is go on recomendations. I have just got HSA insurance got myself a private dentist and was amazed with just being able to get an appointment when Idebtfreeandlovingit wrote: »Hello,
