Questions and answers
Are you accepting new NHS patients in Normanton and Derby?
Yes. We are currently registering new NHS and private patients from Normanton Road and the surrounding parts of Derby. NHS places are in high demand across the city, so it is worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. Call us on 01332 242526 or use our contact form to register.
Whereabouts on Normanton Road are you, and how do I get there?
We are at 254 Normanton Road, Derby DE23 6WD, in New Normanton, close to Derby Arboretum and a short way from Southgate Retail Park. Frequent buses run along Normanton Road from Derby city centre and the southern suburbs, and Peartree station is nearby.
Which areas of Derby do you look after?
We are a local practice for Normanton, New Normanton, Pear Tree, Rose Hill, Sunny Hill and Littleover, and we welcome patients from right across south Derby and the city centre.
How much does NHS dental treatment cost?
NHS charges in England for 2026 fall into three bands. Band 1 (£27.90) covers an examination, diagnosis and advice, including any X-rays and a scale and polish if needed. Band 2 (£76.60) covers fillings, extractions and root canal work. Band 3 (£332.10) covers crowns, dentures and bridges. Some patients are exempt from charges.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your dentist will take a full dental and medical history, examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues, and take any X-rays needed. You will get a clear explanation of anything they find and an agreed plan, including costs, before any treatment begins.
I am nervous about visiting the dentist. Can you help?
You are far from alone, and we see many patients who feel anxious. Let us know when you book and we can allow extra time, talk you through each step and never rush you. Easing back into regular check-ups usually makes future visits much easier.
Do you offer private treatments such as teeth whitening or Invisalign?
Yes. Alongside NHS care we offer private options including professional teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners and dental implants. Call us on 01332 242526 to arrange a consultation and we will talk through what would suit you.
When are you open and how do I book?
We are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm and closed at weekends. To book, call 01332 242526 during opening hours or request an appointment through our contact form.
