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.
Our verdict
Our verdict: this suits you if you want emergency care from the highest-rated practice in this round, with online booking and a stated £99 emergency booking fee [1] [4]. The company record runs to 2007 and the CQC registration is on the register [3] [2]. The gap is paperwork: no insurance wording and no full treatment fee list on the pages checked [1].

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.
