The cost of white fillings with an HC2 certifcate from the NHS.?

Hey,


I'm a student and I know I need a filling :( But I want a white one because I'm fed up of my black ones showing in photos etc. I have an HC2 certificate from the NHS because I'm a full time uni student and I know that white fillings cost a lot.


Would the NHS pay the amount for a black filling towards having a white one so I pay the difference? Does anyone know if I'm allowed to do that or not? Ooo I hope so.

soz but ant tooth further back than your canine will be silver amalgam only, wet her you have a white and just pay the difference will be to your dental surgeons discretion..... NOW you see why we opt out the NHS rules and boundaries.... not financial gain
Reply:Hiya I think it depends in which tooth you need a filling the NHS usually use silver ones in your back molars and white ones in your front teeth. And I think they can use white ones in pre molars and at the side of molars depending on the dentist. I am not sure about the HC2 certificate I would ask your dentist.





If your Uni has a dental school you maybe able to get them to do a white filling if you don't mind supervised students working on your teeth, I know a friend of mine had veneers done whilst she was at uni by the dental school.





Good luck.

i had 2 white fillings done about 3 weeks ago (private dentist) and it cost me approx £340 for them, you could ring your nhs detist and ask could you pay the extra to have your fillings done white and see what they say.
