21 dental practices in Bournemouth are providing NHS treatment according to the published NHS records, July 2026 data. Every one is listed below with its rating, opening hours and phone number.
How this list works
We show a practice here if the published NHS records say it recently did NHS work, or if it says on the NHS website that it is accepting new NHS patients. Each card shows the practice's own answer from the NHS website on accepting new NHS patients, which we check every week. Always call the practice to check before you go. Information from the NHS website. How to find one accepting new patients, and what NHS treatment costs.

How we decide what goes on this page
A practice appears here only when its own page on this site already states that it provides NHS treatment. In England that comes from the NHS Business Services Authority's record of general dental contract activity, which we take every month. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland it comes from that nation's own regulator. Where we could not confirm either way, the practice is left off rather than guessed at, so this list is a floor and not a complete census.

How NHS dentistry in Bournemouth has changed
In April 2016 there were 23 addresses in Bournemouth where an NHS dental contract delivered treatment. In the most recent month published there were 19. That count uses a different unit from the list above, so the two numbers are not the same measure and should not be compared with each other.
