Private versus NHS dental treatment

[mike9009]

My wife has an NHS dentist and needs a root filling.

Her dentist has stated, if she goes privately with him, she will have better treatment than with the NHS (same dentist though) He mentioned better quality materials, equipment and drugs! He strongly recommends this course of action.

She is now considering going private for this work. Is the advantage worth the £320 cost?

Many thanks for any educated opinions.

Thanks all - so it sounds very dependent upon the dentist used. Our dentist seems pretty good and reliable so wifey has decided private....

PO33 here - not HP9
