NHS England continues to use the three‑band system for treatment fees.
Urgent Care and Band 1 costs £27.90 and covers urgent Care and basic treatments.
Band 2 costs £76.60 and covers fillings or extractions.
Band 3 costs £332.10 and covers advanced items like crowns or dentures.
These fees come into effect on April 2026 and remain in place through to end of March 2027. They come with concern from the BDA – take a look at their latest statement about families on modest incomes.
