Review titled False advertising
Rated 1 star out of 5

I tried to register as a new patient. When I called I was told this practice is not accepting new NHS patients. Well unless you want to wait 18 months. They are using the NHS website to get people to call in and then try an upsell to them to become a private patient.

It may be helpful if I further clarify the current situation. On 7 February 2024 the Government announced the Dental Recovery Plan for England. This plan, which began on 1 March, included a programme to increase new patient NHS dental appointments,. As the largest dental provider in the UK, mydentist are keen to support more patients in getting access to NHS care and we therefore are actively participating in this programme. It is a condition of being in the scheme that the status of a participating practice must be set to ‘accepting new patients’ on the practice NHS website from 1 March 2024 to 31 March 2025, the full duration of the scheme. To not display this information would put us in breach of our contract and participation. However, displaying this information this does pose some challenges, as appointment capacity for new patients does vary considerably from practice to practice, depending on NHS dentist availability. We are seeing unprecedented volumes of enquires into practices in your vicinity and are currently unable to accommodate every patient contacting us needing care. While we are accepting new NHS appointments at the practices, capacity is still severely restricted, meaning new appointments fill up extremely quickly. We are also unable to offer waiting lists at each practice. We are nevertheless continuing to expand our new patient capacity across our dental practices as we support our clinicians to open up additional diary space.
