Questions and answers

Are you accepting new NHS patients in Carlton and Netherfield?

Yes — we are currently registering new NHS and private patients from Netherfield, Carlton and the surrounding Gedling area. NHS places can come and go, so it is worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. Call 0115 987 6020 or use our contact form to register.

Whereabouts is the practice, and how do I get there?

We are on Station Road, on the Carlton and Netherfield border in the NG4 area, east of Nottingham. Nottingham City Transport buses run through the area — routes such as the 43 and 44 connect Carlton and Netherfield with the city centre — and Netherfield railway station and Victoria Retail Park are both nearby.

How much does NHS dental treatment cost?

NHS charges in England for 2026 fall into three bands. Band 1 (£27.90) covers an examination, diagnosis and advice, including any X-rays; Band 2 (£76.60) covers fillings, extractions and root canal work; and Band 3 (£332.10) covers crowns, dentures and bridges. Some patients are exempt from charges.

What happens at my first appointment?

Your dentist will take a full history, examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues, and take any X-rays needed. You will get a clear explanation of anything they find and an agreed plan, including costs, before any treatment starts.

I am nervous about visiting the dentist — can you help?

You are far from alone, and we see many patients who feel anxious. Let us know when you get in touch and we will allow extra time, talk you through each step and never rush you. Getting back into regular check-ups usually makes future visits much easier.

Which areas do you look after?

We are a local practice for Netherfield, Carlton, Colwick, Gedling, Bakersfield and Mapperley, and we welcome patients from right across east Nottingham and the wider Gedling borough.

How do I book an appointment?

You can call us on 0115 987 6020 during opening hours or request an appointment using our contact form. We offer appointments Monday to Friday.

Do you offer private treatments like teeth whitening or Invisalign?

Yes. Alongside NHS care we offer private options including professional teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners and dental implants. Call 0115 987 6020 to arrange a consultation and we will talk through what would suit you.
