Elvet Dental Practice

Long-established dental practice on Old Elvet in the city centre, offering NHS and private dentistry a short walk from the Market Place.

About Elvet Dental Practice

Elvet Dental Practice occupies a handsome townhouse at 18 Old Elvet, one of Durham's most elegant Georgian streets, just across Elvet Bridge from the Market Place and close to the courts and the university's Elvet colleges. It offers both NHS and private dental care, covering routine check-ups, hygiene, fillings and more involved restorative and cosmetic treatments, in a central, easily reached location. Its long presence in the city has earned it a settled local following.

Being right in the heart of Durham makes it convenient for residents, workers and students alike, though on-street parking is limited, so many patients arrive on foot or by bus. NHS availability for new patients varies over time, as it does across the country, so it is worth contacting the practice directly to check whether it is currently taking on NHS or private patients, and to confirm opening hours and emergency arrangements.
