Fountain Street Dental Practice
7 Fountain St, Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 7EQ
Ulverston's register is short because the public record is short: nhs.uk lists a single general dental practice in the town, and at our last check it hadn't published whether it was taking new NHS patients. The town's community dental clinic takes referrals only, so it can't be your regular dentist. That makes Ulverston one of the towns where knowing the wider picture matters most — Barrow's practices are fifteen minutes away and two were listed as accepting at our last check. The board below shows what nhs.uk reports; our phone sweep will confirm the real position directly with the practice.

Ulverston sits between the Furness peninsula and the southern Lakes: Barrow is fifteen minutes down the A590 with the area's biggest choice of practices, Grange-over-Sands and Kendal are the other direction, and villages from Coniston down to Bardsea look to Ulverston first. The town's practice is on Fountain Street, in the centre. Ulverston is in the South Cumbria NHS system — urgent care goes through the dental helpline.
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.
The board on this page shows the current picture for Ulverston. 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.
Call the NHS dental helpline on 0300 1234010 — South Cumbria's urgent dental route, open to anyone with an urgent need whether or not you have a regular dentist. Outside helpline hours, call 111.
Because nhs.uk's find-a-dentist service currently lists only one general practice in the town — the Stanley Street clinic is referral-only community dental care, so it doesn't belong on a register you can join. We don't pad the list.
Private care is available locally and in Barrow and Kendal nearby. We're verifying published local price lists so this page's cost table can show real guide ranges.
