How to register

Find Your Nearest dental practice in the NHS Highland area. Contact the practice of your choice directly to arrange an appointment, or to be put on a waiting list to register. You may not be offered a registration appointment immediately.

All dental practices listed here have contracted with the Health Board to provide NHS dentistry. However, patients should note that a dentist is not obliged to accept all patients for NHS dental treatment.

If you have limited mobility you may wish to ensure that the practice will be accessible for you.

If you are unregistered and experiencing dental pain, or have any other queries, contact the dental helpline in your area.
