Ratings and rankings are our editorial opinion, based on our published methodology — they are not dental advice and practices cannot pay to change a score. Where a practice has no reviews we show "Not yet rated" — we never invent scores. Listings labelled Featured or Referral partner are paid placements; payment affects visibility only, never ratings or match results. We may receive a fee when you send a private-treatment enquiry. Private treatment prices are indicative — always confirm directly with the practice.
What you pay for NHS dentistry in Leicester
NHS dental charges are fixed nationally in England — Band 1 £27.90, Band 2 £76.60, Band 3 £332.10 at every NHS practice. These are national rates — they are identical at every NHS practice in Leicester and everywhere else, so there is no reason to compare NHS practices on price. You pay one charge per course of treatment, not per item, and only private treatment prices differ between practices.

If no Leicester practice is taking NHS patients
There is no catchment area for NHS dentistry — you can register at any practice that will take you. These nearby places also have practices with NHS activity on record.
NHS dentists in Leicester — FAQ
How many NHS dentists are there in Leicester?
We list 112 dental practices in Leicester, of which 49 show NHS contract activity in the most recent NHSBSA open data (March 2026). That figure comes from practices' own FP17 submissions, so it evidences an NHS contract rather than a marketing claim. It does not tell you whether a practice is currently taking on new NHS patients.
Are NHS dental charges different at different practices in Leicester?
No. NHS dental charges are fixed nationally in England — Band 1 £27.90, Band 2 £76.60, Band 3 £332.10 at every NHS practice. A practice cannot charge more or less than the national rate for NHS work, and you pay one charge per course of treatment rather than per item. Only private treatment prices vary between practices.
What do I do if no Leicester practice is taking new NHS patients?
NHS dental lists open and close constantly, so ask to be told when one opens and check nhs.uk, which is the authoritative source for who is accepting patients. It is also worth trying nearby Nottingham, Derby, Northampton — you can register anywhere, as there is no catchment area for NHS dentistry. If you are in pain, call NHS 111 for urgent dental care, charged at the £27.90 urgent rate or free if you are exempt.
