Service Update

19/03/24

• We are offering new patient appointments for NHS treatment to children only, as the contract we have with NHS England is already at full capacity. Our waiting list is temporarily closed as it is also at full capacity.
• The government increased NHS fees by 8.5% which came into effect on 24th April 2023. *Please note, the increased fees do not go to the practice, the amount we are paid by NHS England has not been increased. For more information, see the links in the section below.
• If you struggle to access NHS dental services, either due to costs or lack of availabilty of NHS services please contact your local MP. We strongly believe in the NHS and would appreciate your support in pressuring the government to fund NHS Dentistry so that everyone has access to comprehensive preventative treatment.
• The online booking system remains suspended until further notice.
• If you have a dental emergency but are not a registered patient, call us at 8.30 am on the day. We will try to accommodate you as a one off to manage the dental emergency. If we have no availability we will direct you to 111.
