NHS dentists in Cornwall: your questions

How do I find an NHS dentist accepting new patients in Cornwall?
The list on this page shows NHS dental practices in Cornwall, with those currently accepting new NHS patients shown first. It is updated daily from official NHS data and supplemented by patient reports. You can also search by your exact postcode, or set a free alert to be told the moment a chosen practice starts accepting.
What should I do if no NHS dentist in Cornwall is accepting new patients?
Availability changes often, so check back and set a free alert. Widen your search to neighbouring areas, because a practice a little further out may be taking patients. If you have dental pain or an urgent problem and cannot get an appointment, call NHS 111 for help finding urgent care.
How much does an NHS dentist cost?
In England, NHS dental treatment is charged in three set bands: Band 1 for a check-up, Band 2 for fillings or extractions, and Band 3 for crowns, dentures and bridges, and the price is the same at any NHS dentist. Some people qualify for free NHS dental care. See our NHS dental charges guide for the current amounts.
How up to date is this NHS dentist list?
Listings sync daily from the NHS Directory of Healthcare Services and are supplemented by reports from patients, and each practice shows when it was last checked. Availability can still change between updates, so it is always worth confirming directly with the practice.
