Home Visit Dentists in the UK – Bringing Care to Your Home
For people who struggle to get to a clinic, home visit dentistry brings professional care to you. It’s ideal for elderly or housebound patients, those in care homes, or anyone with mobility or transport difficulties.
What we can do at home
- Check-ups and pain assessments
- Temporary and definitive fillings (where appropriate)
- Simple extractions (case dependent)
- Denture repairs, relines and replacements
- Emergency care for toothache, broken teeth and infections
- Preventive care and oral health advice
Who this helps
- Elderly, disabled or housebound patients
- Care home residents and those in supported living
- Patients recovering from illness or surgery
- People with anxiety who find clinics overwhelming
How a home visit works
- Telephone triage: brief history, medication list, and suitability check.
- Scheduling: confirm address/access, parking, and a preferred time window.
- Arrival & setup: portable equipment and infection-control procedures.
- Treatment: explain options, obtain consent, proceed with agreed care.
- Aftercare: written instructions and follow-up plan; referrals if needed.
What to prepare before we arrive
- A well-lit space with a sturdy chair or bed access
- Medication list and any allergy information
- A clean surface for instrument trays (we also bring protective covers)
- Power socket nearby (for some devices)
- Carer or family member present if support is required
Safety, consent & limitations
We follow strict infection-control protocols and carry appropriate PPE and portable equipment. Not every procedure is suitable at home; where advanced care is required, we’ll explain options and help arrange a clinic visit or referral.
Areas we cover
We coordinate home visits across major UK cities. Choose your local service:
Care homes & hospitals
We regularly visit care homes and, where permitted, hospital wards. We can provide on-site assessments, urgent relief for pain, denture repairs/relines, and oral-care guidance for staff. For multi-resident visits, we can coordinate schedules to minimise disruption.
Aftercare & follow-up
Patients receive clear aftercare instructions. Where ongoing treatment is needed, we’ll arrange further visits or a referral pathway that suits the patient’s needs and location.
NHS or private?
Home visits are provided as a private service. If you’re unsure whether you may qualify for NHS support in your area, we can point you towards the relevant information.
