Dentists in Hove

Hove is the western half of the city, and the 23 dentists on this page work along its main roads and squares: Church Road, Portland Road, Salisbury Road and Brunswick Square, with Hangleton further north. For a resident, that means a short walk or a bus to most of them. Some are practices of long standing, and a few have changed their name or ownership recently.

Implant work is a strong thread here. The Hove branch of Brighton Implant Clinic opened on Church Road in 2009 and focuses on All-on-4, same-day teeth, zygomatic and pterygoid implants, with an on-site dental laboratory, and holds 4.8 from 280 reviews. Boundary Implant Centre is built around implant dentistry and is rated 4.9 from 118 reviews. TwentyOneDental has a consultant oral surgeon on the team and offers a free e-consultation. Hangleton Dental Practice at 8 West Way covers single and multiple implants, All On 4 and zygomatic implants.

Practices that combine NHS and private care are fewer here. Damira Hove Dental Practice, in the centre of Hove, is rated 4.7 from 603 reviews and aims at cost effective care for the whole family. Portland Road Dental Clinic belongs to the Colosseum Dental group, takes NHS and private patients and has a bus stop outside. Brunswick Road Dental Practice is family-run and takes same day NHS emergency appointments for registered and unregistered patients. New Church Road Dental Practice builds much of its work around Denplan and offers NHS treatment alongside.

Two points from the NHS help any Hove resident. There is no permanent registration with an NHS dentist as there is with a GP, and you do not need to live near a practice to use it for NHS treatment. Under 18s, and under 19s in full-time education, get free NHS dental treatment, so families with teenagers have more room to choose than they may expect.

Some practices have a distinct story. Somerhill Dental Practice opened in 1998, is rated 4.9 from 562 reviews, and trains newly qualified dentists through the NHS Foundation Dental programme. The Dental Hygiene Clinic at 39a Salisbury Road, near Palmeira Square, began as a hygienist service before adding general and cosmetic dentistry. House of Dentistry Brighton & Hove was renamed in July 2025 after changing ownership, having been Brunswick Court Dental Practice, and is led by a Dental Phobia Certified dentist.

Urgent care is well covered. City Dental Practice trades under the Hove Emergency Dentist name and puts same day urgent care at the front of what it does. Hove Family Dental Practice, run by Dr Farrokh Sharifzad since 1999, runs a same day emergency service, with a separate emergency dentist service covering evenings, weekends and bank holidays. Angel Dental in Hangleton has cared for patients for over 35 years. Brighton has its own page, with 40 more practices. Concordia Dental Healthcare in Hove is one of several practices across East and West Sussex under the same name, and uses Damon braces, Spark aligners and Myobrace, the last of which is also used to help children build lifelong oral health habits. Brighton Smiles is a private, family friendly practice that welcomes new patients and their families.
