Dental Practices in the UK

Since dentistry is widely regarded as an essential service in the UK, demand for appointments is stable. However, due to NHS funding shortages, there has been a steady shift towards private dental care. While private providers tend to be more expensive, they offer shorter waiting times, longer appointments and better equipment, attracting a growing number of patients as disposable incomes have risen. Disposable incomes dipped in 2022-23, which dented private dental care. Affordable dental care plans made available have helped.
