    The NHS place will obviously be cheaper, but the range of treatment, the time they have available, and the individual care would all be much less.

    If you get on well with your current dentist, feel you get good treatment, feel everything is well explained to you, then I really wouldn't risk moving. You're not being ripped off - that's what it costs to provide time with people.

    If everything still feels rushed, and you feel like your pushed through the practice on a conveyor belt, then you've probably got nothing to loose.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
