Maryport dentist

Maryport does surprisingly well for a small town: two general practices sit a street apart near the harbour, and at our last check of nhs.uk's listings one of them was recorded as accepting new NHS patients — adults included, which is scarce anywhere in Cumbria. The other hadn't published a position either way. The board below shows what nhs.uk currently reports for both, and our phone verification sweep will confirm each status directly, date-stamped, before anything on this site claims to be verified. If you need help urgently, the route at the bottom of the page works whether or not you're registered anywhere.

Dental practices in Maryport

NHS-possible

Emergency dentist in Maryport

  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 Maryport

Maryport shares its dental catchment with the rest of the west coast: Workington is ten minutes south, Cockermouth fifteen minutes inland, and the Solway villages north towards Silloth mostly look to Maryport or Wigton. Both of the town's practices are central — Bridge Street and Irish Street — an easy walk from each other if one can't fit you in.

Maryport dentist: your questions

How much is an NHS dentist in Maryport?

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.
