Save Time, Save Money and Take Charge of Your Dental Health
Before automatically booking another routine check-up, discover what has been observed and whether a dental appointment may actually be needed.

For millions of people across the UK, managing their dental health still means following the same familiar routine: visiting a dentist every six or twelve months, whether or not they have noticed a problem or anything has changed.
But the real cost of a dental check-up is not limited to the £27.90 NHS charge or the approximately £55 cost of a private examination.
Attending an appointment may also mean taking two or three hours away from work or everyday life. Add lost pay, annual leave, childcare, fuel, public transport and parking, and the true cost can easily approach £100 per visit.
That is a considerable investment of time and money for an appointment that may simply confirm that no immediate treatment is required.
Screen first, then decide
DentalSavers offers a more convenient and affordable place to begin.
For £27.90, a guided series of dental images is captured at a participating location. Every usable image is analysed, the findings are professionally reviewed and you receive a clear visual report showing what has been observed.
The screening is designed to take approximately 10–15 minutes and does not automatically commit you to treatment or a conventional dental appointment.
Where an area appears to deserve closer attention, you can arrange an appointment with a better understanding of why you are going. Where no immediate concern is observed, the report can provide useful information and reassurance without automatically committing you to the cost, travel and disruption of a routine visit.
This is not about ignoring your dental health. It is about managing it more proactively.
Research has found little evidence that automatic six-monthly check-ups provide better outcomes for every adult. NICE guidance similarly recommends that dental recall intervals should reflect each person’s oral health and level of risk, rather than applying the same fixed timetable to everyone.
The technology behind visual and remote dental screening is not experimental. It has been proven through practical use, is supported by a growing body of academic research and is widely recognised within professional, workplace and community screening programmes.
KELLS combines AI-supported image analysis with professional review to provide an accessible, convenient and consistent first look at your dental health.
