Are you searching for an NHS dentist in Moira, Lurgan, Lisburn and wondering:

“Who is taking on new NHS patients?”

The answer is simple:
We are an independent practice and do not provide NHS care.

However, there is a reason behind that decision — and we believe it is important to explain it clearly.

Why We Are a Private Dentist in Moira

Around 20 years ago, long before the current NHS challenges, we made a decision.

We chose to become a private dentist in Moira because it allowed us to treat patients in the way we believed was right.

This was not a recent change based on the current access issues and underfunding.
It was a long-term decision based on the standard of care we wanted to provide.

🤝 Is Private Dentistry Right for You?

We will be completely honest.

If you already have an NHS dentist and you are happy with the care you receive:

You don’t need us.

More importantly,
we would not want you to spend money unnecessarily.

Instead, our practice is for patients who:

• Feel frustrated with rushed appointments
• Want more time and clear explanations
• Are looking for a different level of care
• Want a strong focus on preventative dentistry
• Are motivated to maintain their oral health long-term

In short, we are not here to “convert” NHS patients.
We are here for people actively seeking something different.

⭐ Why Choose a Private Dentist in Moira?

Choosing a private dentist in Moira allows us to provide a very different experience.

1. First-Class Customer Service

We believe the experience matters just as much as the dentistry.

That means:

• Your phone call is answered
• You are called back when promised
• You are helped quickly if you are in pain
• You are treated with warmth and respect

In addition, every member of our team is GDC registered, accountable, and professional.

2. A Skilled and Caring Team

We are incredibly proud of our team.

For example, we provide:

• Highly trained, upskilled nurses
• A dedicated Treatment Coordinator (TCO)
• A hygienist focused on prevention and long-term health

Many of our team have been with us for over 10 years. Therefore, you will often see familiar faces.

However, more than qualifications, we value people who are:

Kind, reliable, and genuinely care about patients

Because skills can be taught — but attitude matters most.

3. Designed for Nervous Patients

We understand that many patients feel anxious about visiting the dentist.

Therefore, we have created an environment that:

• Does not feel clinical or intimidating
• Does not smell or sound like a traditional dental practice
• Allows time to build trust and relationships

As a result, we are able to get to know our patients properly and treat patients who would otherwise avoid dental care.

4. High Clinical Standards Without Compromise

As a private dentist in Moira, we can invest in the very best.

This includes:

• High-quality materials and laboratories
• Modern digital equipment
• A full range of treatments under one roof
• Reduced need for referrals

In addition:

• Our team invests in high-quality training
• We provide guarantees on our treatments
• We take pride in our work

5. A Local, Family Practice

We are a family-run dental practice — and that matters.

• The owner is the Principal Dentist
• Our clinicians and team live locally
• We are part of the community

We shop locally. Our children go to local schools.

Because of this, we are accountable to our patients and our community.

6. A Preventative Approach

We strongly believe:

“Dentistry isn’t expensive — neglect is.”

That is why we focus heavily on:

• Preventative care
• Regular hygiene visits
• Early intervention

Helping you avoid problems is always better than fixing them later.

7. Freedom to Do What’s Best for You

Private dentistry allows flexibility.

In practice, this means:

• No restrictions on treatment options
• No waiting for approvals
• No “one size fits all” approach

Instead, we tailor your care to what is best for you — not what fits a system.

💬 Are Dentists Going Private Just to Make More Money?

This is something we hear — and it is important to address it honestly.

The reality is:

• NHS dentistry is significantly underfunded
• Many practices are under financial pressure
• There are shortages of dentists, hygienists, and nurses

We genuinely believe NHS dentistry has an important place.

However, the dentistry we provide is very different.

Our decision to be a private dentist in Moira was less about being an NHS dentist in Moira and all about delivering the level of care we believe in — not reacting to recent changes.

⚠️ The Reality of NHS Availability

We understand the frustration around NHS access.

In the past, we could direct patients to trusted NHS practices in nearby areas.

However, many of those practices have now also moved to private care.

As a result:

• Patients often contact us out of necessity
• Some feel frustrated when we cannot offer NHS treatment

We completely understand this.

However, we also know that private dentistry is not the right fit for everyone.

Most importantly:

We want patients who choose us — not patients who feel they have no alternative.
