My local Genix Healthcare Dental Clinic does not provide NHS, what is my alternative?

Where NHS dentistry is not available at a Genix Healthcare clinic, either because the dentist is unable to accept new NHS patients or through the absence of an NHS contract, patients can benefit from our affordable scheme called GENCARE.

GENCARE is exclusive to Genix Healthcare and there's no need to sign up to a monthly payment plan - you just pay one off costs when you have treatment.
