Questions and answers
Are you accepting new NHS patients in Rise Park and north Nottingham?
Yes — we're currently registering new NHS and private patients. NHS availability has been limited right across north Nottingham, so it's worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. Call 0115 975 1635 or use our contact form to register.
Whereabouts are you and how do I get there?
We're at 257 Brownlow Drive, Nottingham NG5 5DF, in Rise Park and close to Rise Park Shopping Centre. Nottingham City Transport buses serve the estate, with links to the city centre, Bulwell and Arnold.
How much does NHS dental treatment cost?
NHS charges in England for 2026 fall into three bands. Band 1 is £27.90 and covers an examination, advice and any X-rays. Band 2 is £76.60 and covers fillings, extractions and root canal work. Band 3 is £332.10 and 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 that are needed. You'll get a clear explanation of anything they find and an agreed plan, including costs, before any treatment begins.
I feel nervous about seeing the dentist — can you help?
You're far from alone, and we look after many anxious patients. Let us know when you get in touch and we'll allow extra time, talk you through each step and never rush you. Easing back into regular check-ups usually makes future visits much easier.
Which areas do you cover?
We're a local practice for Rise Park, Top Valley, Bestwood, Bestwood Park and Warren Hill, and we welcome patients from across Bulwell, Arnold, Hucknall and the wider north Nottingham area.
Do you offer private treatments such as teeth whitening or Invisalign?
Yes. Alongside NHS care we offer private options including professional teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners and dental implants. Call 0115 975 1635 to arrange a consultation and we'll talk through what would suit you.
How do I book an appointment?
Call us on 0115 975 1635 during opening hours, which are Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, or request an appointment using our contact form. We'll do our best to find a time that works for you.
