Find a dentist in Fife who is actually taking patients

Finding a dentist in Fife can be frustrating.

Many dental practices appear online but are not currently accepting new patients, especially for NHS care.

This service helps patients avoid phoning multiple clinics by sending one clear request to dental practices that may be able to help.

Why finding a dentist in Fife is difficult

Most dental websites and directories do not show:

whether a clinic is taking new patients

whether NHS places are available

how quickly a practice can respond

As a result, patients often:

phone several clinics

repeat the same information

are told “we’re not taking patients”

This service exists to reduce that effort.

What this service does

Find a Dentist Fife is a patient-matching service.

Instead of listing every clinic, it:

• asks what you need
• identifies dental practices in Fife that may be suitable
• sends your enquiry to a small number of clinics
• passes responses back to you

Clinics decide whether they can help.

You decide what to do next.

How it works



1. You tell us what you’re looking for

(for example: NHS or private, urgency, location, availability)

2. We identify up to 3–5 dental practices in Fife that may be a match

3. Your request is sent to those clinics.

4. Clinics respond if they can help

5. We share the responses with you so you can choose your next step

There is no cost to patients for using this service.

Who this service is for (and who it isn’t)

This service is for:

• adults looking for a general dentist in Fife
• patients struggling to find practices taking new patients
• people who want to avoid calling multiple clinics

This service is not:

• an emergency service
• a dental advice service
• a guarantee of an appointment

Availability always depends on individual clinics.

What happens after you submit a request

After you submit your details:

• clinics that can help may reply
• clinics that cannot help simply won’t respond
• you receive a summary of any responses

You are not committed to any clinic.

Is this an NHS service?

No.

This service is independent and is not part of the NHS.

It may help patients looking for NHS or private dental care, but it does not control availability or funding.

For official NHS dental access information, patients should also check guidance from NHS Fife.
