Dentists in Brighton and Hove, by city

Brighton and Hove has a lot of dental practices for its size, but the question most people ask first is the same one: who can see me, and on what terms. This page lists every practice by area, Brighton and Hove, and each area page ranks its practices by Google rating weighted by the number of reviews, with any paid featured position marked.

Each practice page sets out what the practice says it offers: NHS or private treatment, a membership plan such as Denplan, emergency appointments, hygienist visits, implants, braces and clear aligners, whitening, cosmetic work, sedation for nervous patients, finance, children's care and wheelchair access. Where a practice does not say, the page shows no information yet. That matters most for NHS places, which change from one week to the next, so treat the NHS tile as a starting point and phone the practice to confirm.

NHS charges are the same at every NHS practice in England. From 1 April 2026 a Band 1 course of treatment costs £27.90, Band 2 costs £76.60 and Band 3 costs £332.10, and urgent NHS treatment costs £27.90. Private fees are set by each practice, so ask for a written treatment plan with the cost before you agree to anything beyond a check-up.

There is no permanent registration with an NHS dentist, and you do not need to live near a practice to use it, so a Hove practice is as open to a Brighton resident as one on your own street. If you cannot find a practice taking NHS patients, the Sussex Dental Helpline on 0300 123 1663 (8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday) can book you into an available appointment. Out of hours, the Brighton and Hove Emergency Dental Service is on 03000 242 548 and NHS 111 is open around the clock.

Before you book, check your dentist on the General Dental Council's free online register, which shows registration status and qualifications. If you run a practice in Brighton or Hove and it is missing, or a detail is wrong, the claim form puts it right at no cost.
