About Us

NHS Dental Practice Abergavenny

We are a well-established dental practice in the scenic market town of Abergavenny, proudly serving the community since 2007. Our growing, multidisciplinary team of dentists, dental therapists, and hygienists brings together over 80 years of combined experience to deliver high-quality care with a personal touch.
As our practice evolves, we’re excited to expand the range of treatments we offer, with a blend of NHS and private options designed to meet the diverse needs of our patients. Our expanding team enables us to provide more opportunities for advanced treatments and tailored care.

We are passionate about professional development and take pride in supporting our team to grow. Many of our dental nurses have progressed through additional qualifications in radiography, sedation, and oral health education, with structured pathways in place for those seeking to advance their careers.

In 2016, we became the first dental co-operative of its kind in Wales. Our unique business model—similar to that of John Lewis—means all employees share in the success of the practice. Led by directors, including the practice principal and experienced team members, our structure reflects our belief in shared responsibility and reward.

Although we are currently unable to accept new NHS patients due to ongoing contract limitations, we continue to welcome young children in specific circumstances and remain committed to providing inclusive, community-focused dental care.

We regularly review availability and look forward to opening new patient appointments in the future as our services grow. We are however able to offer new patient appointments privately either using one of our Denplan options or pay as you go.

We pride ourselves on our friendly and supportive team with many employees having stayed at the practice since it was opened. We understand that for many visiting the dentist it is a traumatic and upsetting experience, please understand you are in full control, and we are here to support you. 

As a sedation practice, we have years of experience dealing with anxious and phobic patients and there are lots of things we can do to help make it a better experience for you.

NHS Patients

Due to ongoing limitations within NHS dental contract, we will be reducing the number of NHS patients we are able to see. This has not been an easy decision, but it is a necessary one to ensure that we can continue to provide safe, sustainable and quality care for the long term.

The current NHS dental contract has made it increasingly difficult for practices like ours to operate effectively and cover the rising costs of delivering care. Despite our best efforts to find alternative solutions and to continue serving as many NHS patients as possible, we have reached a point where change is essential for the survival of our practice.

We want to reassure patients that our commitment to providing dental care remains unchanged. To help ensure ongoing access to treatment, we are introducing Denplan, a flexible, affordable way for patients to stay registered with us and continue to receive regular high -quality care from our team. We understand continuity is important to our patients and we want to reassure you that our dentists aren’t going and remain committed to Gateway.

We fully understand that this news may be disappointing and frustrating for many of our patients. We share that feeling deeply. Every decision has been made with the goal of keeping the practice open and able to care for our community- not to increase profit, but to preserve the service we provide.

Our team will be happy to answer any questions and help guide patients through the registration process for Denplan. If these changes affect you, you will receive a letter explaining what you can do next.

Thank you to all our patients for your continued trust and understanding as we navigate these necessary changes.
