    New NHS Patient Appointments

    We are pleased to offer NHS appointments to new patients when capacity allows.

    Please be aware, patients have not been formally registered with NHS dental practices since the 2006 contract changes,

    which introduced payment based on units of dental activity rather than per registered patient.

    They are considered patients of the practice only while undergoing a course of NHS treatment.

    We currently aim to offer NHS care to patients who have attended for an NHS examination or treatment

    within the last two years, subject to capacity.

    If no appointments are available, you’ll see a message advising you to contact the practice.

    This message is automated — please do not call or email.

    Any available slots will only appear online.

    Incorrect or incomplete bookings will be cancelled. Incorrect bookings waste valuable staff time and may delay care for others.

    We appreciate your cooperation in following the process accurately.
