NHS dentists are paid for providing dental care to patients registered with their practice. The NHS pays dentists a set fee for each type of treatment, including fillings. This fee covers the cost of the materials and equipment used, as well as the dentist's time and expertise.
The NHS dental payment system is designed to ensure that patients have access to affordable dental care. The fees paid to dentists are set at a level that allows them to provide high-quality care while also making a reasonable profit. This system helps to ensure that there is a fair distribution of NHS dental services across the country.
