How listings are vetted

  1. 1

    Start from the record

    Every practice begins as a public Google business record in Brighton or Hove.

  2. 2

    Keep the open ones

    Practices that are open and have at least one Google review stay. Duplicate entries for one surgery are merged.

  3. 3

    Read the practice's site

    Each practice's own website is read for NHS and private care, emergency appointments, implants, braces and more.

  4. 4

    Say when we do not know

    If a practice does not say whether it offers something, the page shows no information yet, never a guess.

Brighton Dental Practice lists dental practices in Brighton and Hove, from Portslade and Hangleton across to Saltdean and Rottingdean, and the practices on Southwick's edge that Google files under Brighton. Every one is an independent business, and a listing here is not an endorsement.

The details on each page come from two places: the practice's Google business record (address, phone, opening hours, its Google rating and review count) and the practice's own website, which is where the NHS, private, emergency and treatment details are taken from. We do not inspect practices or check a dentist's registration. Use the General Dental Council's free online register for that.

Owners can claim a listing to correct details or add photos. A person checks every claim. Published by Francois Steque.

How to choose a dentist in Brighton and Hove

Decide first: NHS, private, or a plan

The first choice in Brighton and Hove is not which practice but which kind of care. NHS dentistry has fixed national charges: from 1 April 2026 a Band 1 course of treatment, which covers an examination, X-rays if needed and a scale and polish, costs £27.90; Band 2, which adds fillings, root canal treatment and extractions, costs £76.60; and Band 3, which adds crowns, dentures and bridges, costs £332.10. If you need treatment from more than one band, you pay the highest band once. Under 18s, under 19s in full-time education, and anyone pregnant or with a baby under a year old pay nothing.

Private practices set their own fees, and many in the city also run a monthly membership plan, Denplan or the practice's own, which spreads the cost of routine check-ups and hygiene visits into a fixed monthly payment. A plan suits people who want regular appointments at one practice. If you mostly need occasional check-ups, compare the plan's yearly cost with paying per visit.

Read the practice page

Every practice page here answers the same questions in the same order. A ticked tile means the practice says it offers that service, on its own website or its Google record. A crossed tile means it says it does not. The line marked no information yet lists what the practice does not mention, which is not the same as a no. That matters most for NHS dentistry: NHS places open and close from week to week, so treat the NHS tile as a reason to phone, not a promise of an appointment.

The rating shown is Google's, with the number of reviews behind it. A 4.8 from 300 reviews tells you more than a 5.0 from 2, and the area pages rank practices by both together.

What to ask when you phone

Check before you book

Dentists, hygienists and other dental professionals can be looked up on the General Dental Council's online register, free, by name or town. It shows their registration status and qualifications. The Care Quality Commission inspects about one in ten dental practices in England each year and publishes the reports, though it does not rate them, so a practice without a recent report may simply not have been inspected yet.

If you have a problem with private treatment that the practice cannot settle, the Dental Complaints Service handles complaints about private care raised within 12 months of the treatment. It does not handle NHS complaints.

When it cannot wait

For severe pain, swelling or a broken tooth during the day, phone a practice that offers emergency appointments, or the Sussex Dental Helpline on 0300 123 1663 if you have no regular dentist. Out of hours, call the Brighton and Hove Emergency Dental Service on 03000 242 548 or NHS 111.

Frequently asked questions

How are the dentists on this site chosen?

Every practice starts from its public Google business record. We keep practices in Brighton and Hove that are open and have at least one Google review, merge duplicates, and then read each practice's own website for the services it offers. Where a practice does not say, the listing shows no information rather than a guess.

Do practices pay to be listed?

No. A basic listing is free and stays free. A practice can pay for a featured position or a premium listing, and paid positions are always marked as featured, premium or best of.

How much does NHS dental treatment cost in Brighton and Hove?

NHS charges are set nationally for England. From 1 April 2026 a Band 1 course of treatment (examination, X-rays if needed, scale and polish) costs £27.90, Band 2 (adds fillings, root canal treatment and extractions) costs £76.60, and Band 3 (adds crowns, dentures and bridges) costs £332.10. Urgent NHS treatment costs £27.90. If you need treatments from different bands, you pay the highest band once. Private fees are set by each practice.

Who gets free NHS dental treatment?

Under 18s, under 19s in full-time education, people who are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months, NHS hospital dental patients, and people on certain benefits or with a valid HC2 certificate. The NHS page on help with dental costs has the full list, so check it before you claim.

How do I find a dentist taking new NHS patients?

Look for the NHS dentistry tile on a practice's page here, then phone the practice, because availability changes week to week. The NHS find a dentist search also shows which practices say they are taking new NHS patients, though its records are not always up to date. If you cannot find one, the Sussex Dental Helpline on 0300 123 1663 (8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday) can book patients into available appointments.

What should I do if I need an emergency dentist out of hours?

Call the Brighton and Hove Emergency Dental Service on 03000 242 548, which takes calls after 5.30pm on weekdays and from 9am at weekends; check the times when you call. NHS 111 gives dental help 24 hours a day. In practice hours, the emergency dentists page lists the practices here that offer emergency appointments.

Do I need to register with a dentist, or live near one?

There is no permanent registration with an NHS dentist the way there is with a GP, although a practice may keep a list of its regular patients. You do not need to live near a practice to use it for NHS treatment, so a Hove resident can see a Brighton dentist and the other way round.

How can I check a dentist is qualified?

Search the General Dental Council's online register by name or town. It is free and shows each dental professional's registration status, number and qualifications. The Care Quality Commission publishes inspection reports for the dental practices it has inspected, though it does not give practices a rating.
