What Gedling Families Say About Our Flexible NHS & Private Options
"I was so confused about NHS vs private dental care until I found Pear Tree Dental. Being just a quick drive from Gedling made it easy to go for a consultation. They explained everything so clearly - no pressure, just honest advice about what would work best for our family budget. We ended up using NHS for the kids' basic care and going private for my front tooth crown. It saved us money overall while getting exactly what we needed. Their approach is perfect for working families like us!"- David R. from Gedling, NG4
