Three steps to finding a dentist that's accepting new patients near you.
Tell us where you are and we'll find dental practices within your chosen radius, sorted by distance.
See at a glance whether each practice is accepting new NHS adults, NHS children, or private patients.
Read patient reviews, check opening hours, and call or visit the practice's website to register.
We pull acceptance data from NHS feeds daily and combine it with community verification from real patients. No more calling ten practices to find one that's taking new registrations.
Every review is moderated before publication. No fake reviews, no paid placements, no way for practices to suppress honest feedback. Rate your dentist across staff friendliness, cleanliness, wait times, and value.
"After months of being told everywhere was full, I found this practice on DentistFinder and they registered me the same week."
"Very clean practice, friendly reception staff. Only minor issue was a short wait past my appointment time."
Practice response: Thanks Raj, we're working on reducing wait times!
