Frequently asked questions

Yes — we're currently registering new NHS and private patients from Clay Cross and the surrounding villages. NHS demand across Derbyshire is high and places can come and go, so it's worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. Call 01246 863185 or use our contact form to register.

We're at 69 Holmgate Rd, Clay Cross S45 9PG, on the road that runs from the town centre past Kenning Park and the library. Clay Cross bus station is in the centre of town with services to Chesterfield, Alfreton and the nearby villages, and you can plan your journey at travelderbyshire.co.uk.

We're a local practice for Clay Cross and its three communities of Danesmoor, Holmgate and Clay Lane, and we welcome patients from Tupton, North Wingfield, Pilsley, Wingerworth, Ashover and the surrounding parts of North East Derbyshire.

NHS charges in England for 2026 fall into three bands. Band 1 (£27.90) covers an examination, diagnosis and advice, including any X-rays and a scale and polish if needed. Band 2 (£76.60) covers fillings, extractions and root canal work. Band 3 (£332.10) covers crowns, dentures and bridges. Some patients are exempt from charges.

Your dentist will take a full dental and medical history, examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues, and take any X-rays needed. You'll get a clear explanation of anything they find and an agreed plan, including costs, before any treatment starts.

You're far from alone, and we look after a lot of nervous patients. Let us know when you book and we'll allow extra time, talk you through each step, and never rush you. Getting back into regular check-ups usually makes future visits much easier.
