Anyone looking for dentists in Brighton and Hove will find the Brighton side of the city is the busier one, with 40 practices on this page. They sit in central Brighton and around the Lanes, in Kemptown near the Marina, opposite Preston Park, up in Moulsecoomb and out on the eastern edge at Saltdean. A few work from the western fringe and name Hove, Portslade and Southwick as part of their patch.
Most practices here treat private patients, and a good number also take NHS patients. MK Dental and Implant Clinic in Kemptown sees private patients and offers NHS care too, and asks people to phone to check current NHS availability. Albion Dental Brighton, Preston Park Dental Clinic, St George's Dental Practice, Norfolk Square Dental Practice and Regency House Dental Practice also combine NHS and private care. The White House Dental Practice in Preston Park works the other way round: new NHS patients are not being accepted at present, while private patients and those on a membership package are welcome.
Implants, whitening, clear aligners and cosmetic work run through much of the local market. Duke Street Dental Centre, close to the Lanes, is a private centre rated 4.9 from 397 reviews, with scanning, crowns, bridges, dentures and sports mouthguards on the menu. Dental Health Spa in central Brighton is family-run, rated 4.9 from 339 reviews, and pairs dentistry with an oral hygiene and facial aesthetics clinic. Brighton Dental Clinic has five surgeries and visiting specialists in periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics and minor oral surgery, and holds 4.8 from 331 reviews.
