NHS Dental Care
Providing affordable dentistry has always been one of our key values, consequently most of our dentistry has been carried out under the NHS.
However due to various constraints we can only look after a certain number of NHS patients.
We are currently taking on NHS patients who are in need of treatment, such as broken teeth, lost fillings etc. However, all patients need to be referred via the Access Dental Centre. All patients will need to phone Access Dental helpline directly on 03330 063 300. We cannot accept patients who phone the practice – all patients need to come through the Access Dental Centre. You can also email them on accessdentalhelpline@nhs.net. If you have any queries, then please phone them directly.
We also offer our NHS patients the option of private treatments if something is not available under the NHS, in which case just ask at your appointment or at reception.
Unless you are a patient who is exempt of NHS dental charges, you have to pay a contribution towards the cost of your care.
Due to the high number of people wishing to receive NHS dental treatment and the very long regional current waiting lists, we have no choice but to remove patients who have not attended for two years or more for a routine check-up from the NHS list.
