Dentist Egremont

Egremont has one general dental practice on nhs.uk's listings — the Bupa-branded surgery on Market Place — and, unusually for Cumbria, at our last check it was recorded as accepting new NHS patients across every category, adults included. For a small town wedged between Whitehaven and the Western Lakes that's a genuinely useful listing, and worth acting on quickly, because open lists in this county rarely stay open for long. The board below shows what nhs.uk currently reports; our phone verification sweep will confirm the position directly with the practice, date-stamped, before this site calls anything verified.

Emergency dentist in Egremont

  1. Call North Cumbria Dental Direct on 01228 603900.

    Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm. This is the booking line for the urgent dental access centres — you do not need to be registered with a dentist.

  2. Outside those hours, call 111 — free, 24 hours.

    NHS 111 triages dental problems around the clock, and is the out-of-hours route in both halves of the county.

  3. Urgent NHS treatment costs £27.90 — one charge, whatever the urgent treatment is.

Where the centres are

  • Carlisle Urgent Dental Access Centre

    Cumbria Health — 4 Wavell Drive, Carlisle CA1 2SE

  • Whitehaven Urgent Dental Access Centre

    S J Smith & Associates — 3 Scotch Street, Whitehaven CA28 7BL

    9am–5pm Monday to Friday

Neither centre provides routine dental care — they deal with the urgent problem and send you back to a general practice for anything else.

The Whitehaven centre is hosted at S J Smith & Associates, which is also a general practice in this register. Being seen there urgently is not the same as being taken on as an NHS patient.

Around Egremont

Egremont sits on the A595 five miles south of Whitehaven, and the two towns share a dental catchment with Cleator Moor between them — Cleator Moor has no practice of its own on nhs.uk, so its answer is Egremont or Whitehaven. St Bees, Beckermont and the villages towards Gosforth look this way too. The practice is central, on Market Place.

Dentist Egremont: your questions

How much is an NHS dentist in Egremont?

NHS charges are the same everywhere in England: £27.90 for a Band 1 course (examination, X-rays, advice), £76.60 for Band 2 (fillings, extractions, root canal) and £332.10 for Band 3 (crowns, dentures, bridges). You pay one charge per course — the highest band only. Private prices vary by practice.

Are any dentists in Egremont taking on new NHS patients?

The board on this page shows the current picture for Egremont. Right now every status comes from nhs.uk's own listings — our phone verification sweep is under way, and each practice will carry a "Checked" date once we have spoken to them directly.

Who do I call for an emergency dentist in Egremont?

Ring North Cumbria Dental Direct on 01228 603900, monday to friday, 8am–5pm. This part of Cumbria uses the North Cumbria urgent dental system, and that line books the urgent dental access centres. Outside those hours, call 111.

Is the Egremont practice really taking NHS patients?

That's what nhs.uk listed when we checked — see the dated status above. Ring before travelling: acceptance can close without notice, and our own phone-verified confirmation will replace the nhs.uk status as the sweep reaches Egremont.

What about Cleator Moor — is there a dentist there?

nhs.uk lists no general dental practice in Cleator Moor, so Egremont and Whitehaven are the practical answers. Our Cleator Moor page shows the nearest tracked practices with approximate distances.
