Dental practices in Cheltenham on a map and in a list, from the NHS directory, with answers on registering, NHS charges and finding a dentist taking new patients.
Dentists in Cheltenham
Find a dental practice in Cheltenham. The map and list below show 41 dental practices in the NHS’s directory across the GL50 to GL54 postcodes, with their addresses. That takes in the villages and small towns around Cheltenham as well as the town itself, so check the map before you choose.
This list can’t tell you whether a practice is taking new NHS patients, because that changes from week to week and isn’t published as open data. Ring a practice and ask before you plan around it, and use the NHS’s Find a dentist service, which is the place to check availability. The NHS’s guide to finding an NHS dentist explains what to do if you can’t get an appointment, and what NHS dental treatment costs explains the charges.

FAQs
Are These NHS Dentists?
They are the practices listed in the NHS's directory of dental practices. Some practices offer both NHS and private appointments, so ask for an NHS appointment when you book. Practices that only offer private care are mostly not in the directory, so they won't appear here.
Is a Practice Taking New NHS Patients?
This page can't say. Availability changes often and isn't published as open data. Ring the practice, and check the NHS's Find a dentist service.
Do I Have to Register With a Dentist?
Not in the way you register with a GP. Being seen at a practice once doesn't guarantee you can get NHS dental care there in the future, and some practices have a waiting list before they can offer an appointment.
What if I Can't Find an NHS Dentist?
Contact your local integrated care board, which manages dental services in your area. The NHS's guide to finding an NHS dentist has the details.
How Much Does NHS Dental Care Cost?
Most adults pay for NHS dental appointments. The NHS explains what treatment costs and who can get it free.
What if I Need Urgent Dental Care?
Use NHS 111 online or call 111 for urgent dental problems. In a life-threatening emergency call 999.
Where Does This Data Come From?
The NHS Organisation Data Service, refreshed monthly. It has no coordinates, so each practice is placed at the centre of its postcode, which puts a pin close to the practice rather than exactly on it. If a practice is missing or wrong, the directory may be out of date; tell us and we'll look into it.
