Nhs dentistry has changes as of April 2026
For the last 20 years dental practices have had a set budget to deliver NHS services to their patients. Careful management of the number of patients was needed to ensure everyone seen received the correct care within the budget. Welsh government has decided to make major changes to this system. If you wish to learn more visit NHS dental charges and exemptions | GOV.WALES
Welsh Government stipulate that all new NHS patient enquires to join a dental practice are via the Welsh Dental Access Portal and we cannot accept new NHS patients directly at the practice.
If you have not had a routine examination at our practice within the last 3 years, Unfortunately new NHS rules mean you will no longer be eligible for an appointment. You can register with the Dental Access Portal above or join out private plan scheme to remain at the practice on a private basis.
Please note:
Our dental chairs are very important to the smooth running of the practice. For health & safety and insurance reasons the maximum weight that can be applied when reclining the chair is 21 stone. If you weigh over this allowance please inform a member of staff. There are facilities available locally who can facilitate your dental treatment. Thankyou for your cooperation and understanding.
Please bare with us as we adapt to these new changes, and please be respectful to member of our reception staff as they are working hard to try to accommodate everyone.
Thankyou
