- WAITLIST OPEN · ACCEPTING NEW NHS PATIENTS
NHS dentist in Lanark.
Join the waitlist.
We’re a long-established NHS practice in Lanark. The list is currently full — typical wait for new patients is 2+ years — but we open slots steadily and contact every patient on the list every 6 months with their position and an updated estimate.
- Free check-ups for everyone in Scotland once you're in — regardless of age or income.
- We text you every 6 months with your waitlist position and an updated wait estimate — no forgotten lists.
- Same dentist for life once registered. Continuity is the same on NHS as private.

Current wait: typically 2+ years · we text every 6 months

DON'T WANT TO WAIT?
Skip the queue — register today.
If you can’t wait two years for NHS, register privately and be seen within 7–14 days. Most plan patients still take up their NHS place when it opens — you keep both options.

ESTABLISHED 1971
Lanark's NHS dentist for over fifty years.
We’ve cared for Lanark since 1971 — through three generations of the same families. A waitlist is only worth joining if the practice behind it will still be here when your place comes up. We have been, for half a century, and we’ll be here for the next.
YEARS AS LANARK’S NHS PROVIDER
COMMON QUESTIONS
What people usually ask.
Can't find your answer?
Call reception on 01555 662220 — Mon–Fri, 9–5. We’re happy to talk it through.
Lanark's NHS dental capacity is limited and we've been the area's NHS provider for over 50 years — our list of registered patients is large. We absorb new NHS registrations as chair time opens up, typically when a new dentist joins or capacity expands. A 2+ year wait is the honest figure across most NHS practices in the area right now.
Every patient on the waitlist gets a text every 6 months — your position number and an updated estimate. You can also call 01555 662220 any time and reception will check the list. If you want to leave the list, one reply unsubscribes you and we remove you immediately.
Yes — call us. We'll see you privately for the emergency (a standard private emergency fee applies) and you keep your NHS waitlist position. We won't ever leave someone in pain waiting two years.
Yes — many waitlist patients do exactly this. Register as a Care Plan or private patient now to start routine care, and we'll move you to NHS when your slot opens. You don't lose your private investment — your Care Plan exams and treatment continue alongside.
Yes — everyone under 26 in Scotland gets free NHS dental treatment, including check-ups, X-rays, fillings, extractions and most routine care. Bring photo ID and proof of age to the first appointment.
