The opening times are Monday to Friday from 09:00am – 13:00pm and 14:00pm to 17:00pm. We are closed for lunch between 13:00pm - 14:00pm and on public bank holidays.

We require at least 24 hours of notice when you cancel/rebook your appoinment so we are able to offer the time slot to someone else. If less than 24 hours notice is given, the appointment will be noted as an FTA(failure to attend) and we may not be able to offer any subsequent appointments. To see our FTA policy in full, click here.

A full range of general dentistry will be provided.

Not initially, we will only offer NHS treatment options until further notice.

A second practice will be opening later in the summer which will be located south of the river. Opening dates for this have not yet been established. We encourage any patients who prefer the South location to wait for further details to be released, rather than contact Central Hereford Dental Care as they cannot add you to the Southside list at this time.

We are taking on new NHS patients at the moment until our books are full! Give us a call on 01432 652202 or use the registration form. Click here to be redirected to the registration form.

Unfortunately, we do not provide onsite parking but there are nearby roads that provide parking within walking distance of the practice as well as a few paid car parks.

Not to worry, we offer a finance option for spreading the cost of your treatment, for more information please give us a call on 01432 652202 or click here to be redirected to our selection of payment methods.

There will undoubtedly be a high demand for dental appointments and the team at Central Hereford Dental Care will get people booked in as soon as possible based on their clinical need. We ask that people be patient whilst the new practice gets established and not to contact the Practice once they have registered their details.

Once you have called or used the online form to add your name to the list, the practice will then start contacting people based on clinical need and book them in for treatment.

Please note that there is no patient registration in dentistry, the NHS dentist will have obligations to treat you for a period of 24 months post your active treatment but most people will stay with their dentist for longer periods as long as they maintain their appointments.

All Appointments re prioritised based on clinical need. Appointments are not allocated on a “first come, first served” basis. There is no benefit in being the “first” to provide your contact details to the practice. This applies to former NHS patients who have been receiving routine care at other practices that have since withdrawn their NHS service.

There are dental emergencies which need immediate attention to minimise the risk of serious medical complications that could be life threatening.  For example:  – Uncontrollable and heavy loss of blood after having a tooth out. – Rapidly increasing swelling around the throat or eye, especially if associated with difficulty in swallowing or breathing. In an emergency, you should call 999 or go to your nearest Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department.  Remember, A&E at Hereford County Hospital has no facilities for general Dental Care.

Central Hereford Dental Care has been commissioned to provide long-term access to dental care.
