How do I register with an NHS dentist in Guildford?

To register with an NHS dentist in Guildford, contact the practice directly and ask if they are accepting new NHS patients. You do not need to register in the same way as with a GP - simply book an appointment and confirm you'd like NHS treatment.

What is the difference between NHS and private dental treatment?

NHS dental treatment covers clinically necessary care at fixed prices set by the government.
