University Dental Centre

On Northcourt Avenue in Reading, at number 9, University Dental Centre combines NHS treatment with affordable private cosmetic options, a mix it describes as the best of both worlds. The practice states that it aims to deliver a patient-focused, quality dental service in a safe and friendly environment, with staff committed to continually developing their skills. General and preventive care covers children's dentistry, hygiene and oral cancer screening, while restorative work takes in crowns, bridges, implants and dentures. Cosmetic treatments run to teeth whitening, veneers and white fillings, and the centre also provides orthodontics with clear and fixed braces, oral surgery and root canal treatment. New private patient check-ups are advertised at £40. The surgery opens weekdays from 9am, breaking for lunch before closing at 5pm, and directs out-of-hours emergencies to NHS 111. Serving Reading and its student and residential neighbourhoods, it keeps NHS accessibility and private choice side by side.
