    Depends on your dentist, if he makes installment plans. Mine takes credit cards.

    If you're seen on the NHS, then a treatment involving an extraction will cost you £49ish.
    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.
