Active

Trading as Shifnal Dental Care Limited · 11 Market Place, Shifnal, Shropshire, TF11 9AU · Service area: Shifnal, Telford, Wolverhampton

Shifnal Dental Care in short

Shifnal Dental Care is a Shifnal practice offering emergency appointments to registered and non-registered patients by phone or online booking, with a booking fee securing the slot. Shifnal Dental Care suits anyone who wants urgent care without joining a patient list first, and our verdict is that its open access is what lifts it above the rest of the table.

Patient reviews give the practice 5.0 on Google, the strongest customer record in this round. The CQC registers the practice and the company record runs back to 2007, while the site states GDC registration for its dentists. What counts against it is paperwork: no insurance wording and no full treatment fee list appeared on the pages checked, a rare gap in an otherwise complete record.

On services, the record shows a general practice covering routine dentistry, hygiene and orthodontics alongside its emergency slots, based on Market Place in Shifnal and serving Shifnal and the wider Telford area. Booking runs by phone or online, and emergency appointments stay open to registered and non-registered patients alike, with a booking fee securing the slot. The practice page puts booking routes ahead of price detail, which matches the gaps noted above.

The customer evidence is the strongest in the round on the single held source: 5.0 on Google across more than a thousand ratings. The CQC registers the practice, the company record runs back to 2007, and the site states GDC registration for its dentists. No second review platform sits in the held sources, so the headline rests on Google alone, deep though that base is.

Questions about Shifnal Dental Care

Is Shifnal Dental Care any good?

On the evidence, yes for urgent care: it tops our Telford emergency dentist table, holds full marks on Google, and takes emergency bookings from registered and non-registered patients alike. The company record runs to 2007 and the CQC registration is on the register. Send your symptoms through the online booking route for the fastest response.

Is Shifnal Dental Care GDC registered?

GDC registration for its dentists is stated on the practice website, and the practice itself sits on the CQC register. The pages checked show no individual registration numbers, so note the names on the team page when you search. Type the dentist's name into the free GDC register search to confirm the record.

What does Shifnal Dental Care charge?

An emergency appointment booked online carries a £99 booking fee to secure the slot. No full treatment fee list was found on the pages checked, so the onward cost of fillings, extractions or crowns is not published. Ask for the whole course cost in writing before treatment starts. The plan should also say what a return visit costs if the tooth flares up again.

How is Shifnal Dental Care ranked?

It ranks first of the ten emergency dentists in our September round, chosen as the best overall pick for open emergency slots with online booking. We looked first at what patients say, then qualifications, history and pricing clarity. Read the full review and its sources before you ring. Scores rest on dated evidence you can check in its sources.

What areas does Shifnal Dental Care cover?

Shifnal Dental Care sits on Market Place in Shifnal and lists Shifnal and Telford among the areas it serves. That places it handiest for Shifnal itself and the east of Telford, with Telford town centre a short drive away. Send your postcode with an online booking to confirm travel time before you set off.

How do I get a quote from Shifnal Dental Care?

Emergency bookings run through the practice website or phone line, with a stated booking fee securing the slot. No full treatment list is published, so the onward cost of fillings, extractions or crowns is agreed at the visit. Ask for each item, its fee and any review cost on the written plan before treatment starts. The booking fee secures the slot rather than covering treatment.

What do the reviews say about Shifnal Dental Care?

Patients give the practice 5.0 on Google across more than a thousand ratings, the strongest customer record in this round. That depth means the headline barely moves with a few stray reviews either way. Read a spread of recent reviews alongside the scorecard rather than the average alone. That many ratings steady the average against outliers.

How does Shifnal Dental Care compare with the others?

It sits top of our ten in the September round, chosen as the best overall pick for open emergency slots with online booking. Dawley follows it for same-day private cover with Saturday hours, while Rodericks suits anyone comparing prices first. Read its card against those two before you ring. No other page pairs full marks with open booking.
