How do I register with an NHS dentist in Hounslow?

There is no formal NHS registration with a dentist, as there is with a GP. There are no catchment areas, so you do not have to live in Hounslow. Phone any NHS practice and ask if it is taking new NHS patients. If it is, book an appointment. The practice may ask you to fill in a form at your first visit. This does not guarantee you NHS care there in the future.

These charges apply from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Some people pay nothing, for example under-18s, pregnant women, women who had a baby in the last 12 months and people on certain benefits.

What if no Hounslow practice is accepting new NHS patients?

Contact your local integrated care board (ICB). The ICB manages NHS dental services in your area and may be able to tell you where to get an appointment. You can also try practices in nearby boroughs, listed below, because you do not have to live near the practice. If you need urgent care, for example for severe pain or swelling, call NHS 111.
