Register Facts, Not Marketing Claims

Every listed practice is checked against official register data — CQC registration for England practices and the principal dentist’s GDC registration when on file — with links to cqc.org.uk and the GDC register at gdc-uk.org so you can verify it yourself. Every dental professional in the UK must be GDC-registered.

How We Verify Dentists

Compare

NHS and Private Dentistry, Side by Side

Put dentists next to each other — NHS availability, private prices for check-ups, hygienist visits, and whitening, payment plans, opening arrangements, and reviews in one view. Takes under two minutes.

Compare Dentists

Independent

Free for Patients. Scores Cannot Be Bought.

Comparison is free and no-obligation. Ratings and match scores can never be bought — paid placement is always labelled and never changes a score. We only share your details with practices you choose.

How It Works

Quick Answers to Dental Questions

How We Keep Comparisons Fair

No Pay-for-Score

No practice can pay to obtain, raise, or protect a rating. Sponsored placement is always labelled and never changes a score or match result.

No Fabricated Reviews

Reviews are optional data with a stated source. Where we have none, a practice simply shows "Not yet rated" — we never invent a score.

We Are Not a Dental Practice

The Local Dentist is an independent comparison service, not a dental practice, and offers no clinical advice. For urgent dental problems call NHS 111 — or 999 / A&E for facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or serious trauma.
