The practice is dedicated to providing as much treatment as possible under the N.H.S.; however there are some items, mainly under a cosmetic directive, that can only be done under a private contract. These are mainly white restorations on the posterior teeth. There are private alternatives to all forms of treatment provided, some involve increased laboratory time using a master technician in their manufacture, or the use of a superior quality material.www.tiptreedentist.co.ukDental Surgery/93 Church Rd Tiptree, CO5 0HB
