About Dental Choices
Dental Choices is an online dental directory and information service that helps people find information about dental practices in the United Kingdom.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Dental Choices does not provide dental treatment, operate dental practices, arrange appointments, or act as an agent for any dental practice.
We use information from public sources, third-party sources, dental practices, and user feedback to help maintain our directory.
Directory Information
We take reasonable steps to keep directory information accurate and useful, but we do not guarantee that any listing is complete, current, accurate, or error-free.
Practice details may change without notice, including:
- accepting new patient status
- NHS, private, mixed, or independent status
- services offered
- opening hours
- contact details
- website links
- booking arrangements
You should always confirm important information directly with the dental practice before making decisions or travelling.
Inclusion in Dental Choices does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, accreditation, or guarantee of quality.
Accepting New Patients Information
Where we indicate that a practice may be accepting new patients, this information is based on one or more signals, which may include:
- practice declarations
- NHS data
- user feedback
- public information
- other data sources
This information is provided for guidance only and is not a guarantee that you will be accepted as a patient.
Practices may have waiting lists, eligibility criteria, capacity restrictions, NHS contract limitations, or other reasons why they cannot offer appointments.
No Dental or Medical Advice
Dental Choices does not provide dental, medical, clinical, or professional advice.
Information on this website is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
If you have a dental emergency, severe pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma, or another urgent health concern, contact NHS 111, your dentist, or the emergency services as appropriate.
User Feedback
You may be able to submit feedback about dental practices and your experiences accessing dental care.
By submitting feedback, you confirm that it is truthful, lawful, and based on your own experience.
You must not submit:
- confidential clinical information
- personal information about other people
- defamatory content
- abusive or offensive content
- spam or misleading information
We may use feedback to improve listings, calculate trust signals, investigate inaccuracies, and assist other users.
We may remove, reject, or moderate feedback at our discretion.

Dental Choices may contain links to third-party websites and services, including:
- dental practice websites
