Questions and answers

Are you accepting new NHS patients in Barlestone?

Yes — we're currently registering new NHS and private patients from Barlestone and the surrounding villages. NHS places are scarce across rural Leicestershire and can come and go, so it's worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. Call 01455 291067 or use our contact form to register.

Whereabouts is the practice and how do I get there?

We're at 39 Barton Road, Barlestone CV13 0EU, on the same road as Barlestone C of E Primary School and a short walk from the village Co-op. The 153 bus between Leicester, Newbold Verdon, Osbaston and Market Bosworth stops on Barton Road.

Which villages do you look after?

We're a local practice for Barlestone, Osbaston, Nailstone, Newbold Verdon, Barton in the Beans and the wider Market Bosworth area, and we welcome patients from right across the Hinckley and Bosworth district.

How much does NHS dental treatment cost?

NHS charges in England (2026 rates) 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.

What happens at my first appointment?

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.

I'm nervous about the dentist — can you help?

You're far from alone, and we see plenty of anxious 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.

What are your opening hours?

We're open Monday to Friday, from 9am to 6pm, and closed at weekends. Call 01455 291067 during opening hours or use the contact form at any time to request an appointment.

Do you offer private treatments like teeth whitening or Invisalign?

Yes. Alongside NHS care we offer private options including professional teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners and dental implants. Call 01455 291067 to arrange a consultation and we'll talk through what would suit you.
