NHS to private dental conversion calculator

NHS to Private Dental Conversion Calculator

Calculate how many NHS fee-paying adults you’ll likely need to convert to make your private transition a success.

Before you begin...

The NHS to Private Dental Conversion Calculator is an online guide to help you understand the level of patient uptake needed to make an NHS-to-private conversion commercially viable for your practice. By entering a few key details, you’ll receive a clear, tailored indication of how many of your NHS patients would need to say “yes” to a private dental plan to support a successful transition.

As a guide:

  • Results in the 30–40% range typically indicate a realistic opportunity for conversion.
  • Figures below 30% suggest a more favourable starting point.
  • Results above 40% may highlight additional factors that require closer consideration. But can still suggest conversion is possible.

 

While the calculator provides a useful starting point, it is only an initial high-level indicator of potential conversion success and does not account for the full range of financial, operational, and commercial factors required for an accurate assessment.

A more detailed discussion is advised to properly evaluate your practice-specific variables, opportunities, and risks. Click here to book a free, no-obligation consultation with our NHS conversion specialists.

Step 1 Your NHS Practice Specifics

NHS Contract Value to be Replaced £0.00

The estimated dental plan income required to replace 40% of your practice’s NHS contract value is: £0.00
