  • Information for new patients booking an appointment

    We require a minimum of 24 hours notice for cancellations, failure to do so will result in no further appointments being offered.

    From 1st April 2026, the cost for an NHS dental exam is band 1 £27.90, this is payable before going into see the dentist.

    It is our practice to policy to pay for treatment upon booking.

    For example, if you attend for an examination and require a filling, £48.70 would be payable upon booking.

    This is the difference between the band 1 payment you will have paid before going into the dentist, and band 2 charge of £76.60.

  • New adult NHS patient enquiries 

     

    We are unable to accept new adult NHS patients for the foreseeable future.

     

    We did have a new NHS patient waiting list, however, we have now closed this due to the large number of people on the waiting list.

     

    We can not confirm when patients on the closed waiting list will be offered an appointment due prioritising

    our registered patients and our current NHS capacity.

     

    We have always been, and remain, a practice committed to NHS dental care.

     

    We provide care under a contract with the NHS and we do not have any power to increase

    this contract (and therefore NHS capacity) ourselves.

     

    Unfortunately, at the moment we are unable to see patients who last attended more than two years before the onset of the pandemic.

    Even with these measures, we are struggling to accommodate our current patients.

     

    Access to emergency dental treatment for patients who do not have a dentist can also be found by

    calling the helpline number on 0161 476 9651.

     

    Dental advice is also available by calling NHS 111.

     

    We do understand your frustrations and we are sorry that we are unable to help further at this time.
