Find & Compare Dentists in England

Find and compare NHS and private dentists in England.

Best NHS dentists near me

Our NHS dentist database includes more than 6,300 dentists across England. So whether you are looking to change dentists, or you have just moved house and are looking for the nearest NHS dentist to you, use our search service to find the best dentist near you.

A BBC investigation has found that only 1 in 10 NHS dental practices are accepting new adult NHS patients, with a third of council areas without any dentist accepting adult NHS patients.

Best private dentists near me

Of approximately 7,800 dental practices across England, about 80% provide both NHS and private services. However, with a shortage of dentists and increasing NHS demand, many dentists are no longer accepting new NHS patients. As such, patients are increasingly turning to private dentistry services.

Our search services include 1,500+ dentists who exclusively provide private services, as well as more than 6,300 dentists who provide both NHS and private treatments.

FAQs

Our search features help you easily find and compare NHS services, be it specialist consultations, procedures or scans. Our guides are there to provide clear and concise information about the English health system, helping you to take control of your healthcare.
Find and compare services currently only cover the London area.
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland run their own health services independently, and as a result have different policies and guidance in many instances. While we aim to expand our services to all four nations, currently our guides only apply to patients in England.
All our data is collated directly from providers and indirectly via open source information published by, among other sources, NHS digital, NHS England and the Care Quality Commission. We take a number of steps to ensure the accuracy of our data, however we are ultimately dependent on third-parties, and thus cannot guarantee its reliability.
All enquiries should be directed to the information provided on our contact page. While we aim to reply to all enquiries as soon as possible, please note that replies may take some time.
