To Our Dear Patients

NEW UPDATE- WE’RE OPENING ON 8th JUNE CLICK HERE  

It is certainly a very testing time for the UK’s dental industry, which together with the whole healthcare sector has had to adapt to the fast moving changes in response to this pandemic.

Here at Horfield Dental Care it is our priority to keep our patients and staff members safe. To achieve this, in line with national guidance (Chief  Dental Officer for England and British Dental Association) we have had to limit our services to telephone consultations and prescriptions if required.

If you are experiencing toothache, or if you’ve been suffering from any other dental issues, please do not hesitate to call us. Our dentists are available during our normal working hours to give you the appropriate advice and support. Furthermore, if you feel you have an extremely urgent dental emergency we can also refer you to a ‘local dental care hub’ which is reserved for the most severe/life threatening dental problems.

Please call the practice from 9am and listen carefully to our answerphone message. At present, we will be running this service during normal working hours, but please try to call us in the morning and the dentist will be able to provide a telephone consultation.

For our Denplan, DPAS and private patients, if you need to contact a dentist out of hours or over the weekend, please contact the North & West Bristol Emergency Dentist on 07770941848, this service operates until 21:00 and the fee should be covered by your dental insurance if you have this in place.

If you are an NHS patient calling with a dental emergency outside of our opening hours then please call NHS 111.

For all non urgent enquiries please email us on info@horfielddentalcare.co.uk or leave a message on our answerphone service. We are always here to help.

Finally, from the whole team here at Horfield Dental Care, we would like to thank all of our wonderful patients for your support and understanding during this difficult time. We hope that you all stay safe and well, and we look forward to seeing you all again when this crisis is under control.
