Appointments

Appointments with students are available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Clinics run term time only. Each appointment will take between 1.5 - 2.5 hours.

  • Treatment may take a long time to complete, you may see more than one trainee during the course of your treatment.
  • Under no circumstances will you be transferred to the care of our specialist level dentists in the hospital.
  • Your treatment will be provided for free, but the cost is in your time and commitment.

Your first appointment

Your first appointment will involve a detailed check-up of your teeth and mouth to let you know what dental treatment you need and to make sure that the work you need is manageable by a student. We will then let you know whether we will be able to take you on for treatment, and what the approximate waiting time will be until treatment can start. If for any reason we are unable to offer you treatment, we will discuss this with you and advise you appropriately.

Changing your appointment

To change or reschedule your appointment, please contact the reception at your outreach site on the numbers above. Alternatively, you can email: bartshealth.dentalugenquiries@nhs.net 

Due to the high volume of patients requesting this service and in line with Trust guidelines, you will be discharged if you fail to attend one appointment without notifying us of your intention not to attend or make two cancellations within 72 hours of your appointment.

Patients who are late for their appointment on more than two occasions will be discharged from our care.

We offer the following simple treatments:

  • Fillings
  • Tooth extractions
  • Deep cleaning
  • Dentures
  • Crowns or caps 
  • Root canal treatments 

We do not offer:

  • Routine check-ups

  • Treatment to under 16 year olds                                                                    

Some patients may be taken on for very specific treatments only and the rest of the care will be in general dental practice.

Emergency and ongoing care

We do not provide emergency dental care.

It is strongly advised that you register with a dentist in addition to receiving treatment with us. This dentist will be expected to provide emergency care for you, as we are unable to do this.

Student treatment clinics do not provide long term-care for patients. To ensure that we have a steady flow of new patients enrolling for treatment, at the end of your treatment, you will be discharged back to your dentist for continuing care.

  • Student dental clinic patient feedback case study

    "I wasn't sure what to expect from a student dental clinic, but from the moment I walked into reception to being in the dentist's chair, my experience at Kenworthy Clinic was smooth and professional. The dental students, their tutors and nurses were thorough and explained the outcome of my appointment so well. From a happy patient - thank you!"

    Alenka — patient at Kenworthy Road Dental Clinic

  • It was a smooth process from registration to being seen at the clinic, and between the two of us we have attended a few times, for some general check-ups. Each time we have found the dental students to be very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is nice and calming.
