Chesterfield's dental picture and the case for looking north

Chesterfield has enough NHS trouble that the local NHS body has published guidance for patients in the town who cannot find a dentist, and enough private practices that you have a choice. The private practices that rank first for Chesterfield are long established, name their principals and open weekday office hours with one late evening. What almost none of them do is publish a fee. Denplan and 'finance available' appear without a price or an APR, and a Chesterfield patient finds out the cost of a check-up by ringing.

Deepcar Dental Care is 45 minutes away, on the far side of Sheffield. We publish every fee, open 8am to 8pm seven days, and see new patients within the week for an £85 examination with X-rays. We would rather be straight about what the distance costs you, so the next section is the case against us, followed by the case for.

The downsides, stated plainly, and who they matter to

It is 45 minutes each way. For a check-up every six to twelve months that is fine. For a course of six short visits it is not, and we would say so and organise treatment into fewer, longer appointments, or suggest you have the routine work nearer home and keep us for what Chesterfield cannot offer. A lower wisdom tooth near the nerve, a root canal under a microscope, an implant, a Sunday morning emergency: those are worth the M1. A single small filling on its own is not.

We are private, and private costs more than the NHS. An NHS band 1 check-up is cheaper than our £63 recall, and band 2 covers fillings for a fixed sum. If you have an NHS place in Chesterfield that sees you when you need it, keep it. We are for the people who do not, and for the people who want a longer appointment, white fillings on back teeth and the same dentist every time.

The examination price is fixed, and so is the one after it. The first examination is £85; after that a routine recall is £63. We say this up front because a first-visit price that hides the ongoing cost is exactly the sort of thing this page is complaining about elsewhere.

Our fillings are not the cheapest in the region. A white filling is £150 to £220, the top of that being a three-surface molar rebuilt with a matrix band and bite-checked before you leave. Some practices charge less. The number is on the plan before you book the appointment, and the plan is yours to take elsewhere for comparison.

The M1 at 5pm. Junction 29 to 35A is 25 miles of motorway that crawls on a Friday evening. Book mornings or Sundays, when it is 40 minutes door to door.

What you get for putting up with all that. A 30 to 40 minute examination with bitewing X-rays, six-point gum measurements and an oral cancer check; a written, itemised plan with the alternatives, including doing nothing; the same named dentist from examination to treatment; every fee on the website; 8am to 8pm every day of the week; an emergency line answered overnight by the principal; and free parking on the forecourt. Decay between teeth shows on a bitewing well before it hurts, and the whole argument for a good check-up, from Chesterfield or anywhere, is finding it then rather than paying for root canal treatment later. The general dentistry page covers what a first visit includes.

Routine fees, as Chesterfield patients would pay them

Plans over a few hundred pounds can be paid over 6 to 18 months at 0% through Tabeo, subject to status; full terms are on the finance page.

Chesterfield to Deepcar: two routes, one motorway

The quickest route is the M1: join at junction 29 (or 30 from Staveley and Brimington), north to junction 35A, then the A616 west towards Stocksbridge for eight miles and Manchester Road (A6102) into Deepcar. Allow 45 minutes. The alternative is the A61 through Sheffield, past Meadowhall and Hillsborough, then the A6102 through Oughtibridge; it is slower in traffic but avoids the motorway. Deepcar Dental Care is at 334 Manchester Road with a free car park outside. If it is urgent, the Chesterfield emergency page explains same-day slots and the £30 examination.

Questions, answered

General & family dentistry: questions from Chesterfield patients

Is it worth travelling from Chesterfield just for a check-up?

On its own, only if you cannot get one locally at a price you know, or you want a weekend. It is clearly worth it if you want one practice for everything, including implants, sedation and microscope root canals, so you are not referred around.

Can I get to Deepcar from Chesterfield without the M1?

Yes, the A61 through Sheffield then the A6102 through Hillsborough and Oughtibridge, or the A619 and A625 across to Sheffield first. Both are slower than the motorway but fine on a weekend.

Are you taking new private patients from Derbyshire?

Yes. New patients from Chesterfield, Dronfield, Clay Cross and Staveley are seen within the week, with Saturday and Sunday appointments available.

Do you offer NHS treatment?

No. We are private only. Joined Up Care Derbyshire publishes guidance for Chesterfield patients looking for an NHS dentist, and it is the right first stop if NHS care is what you want.

Can treatment be grouped so I drive less?

Yes. For patients travelling from Chesterfield we plan longer, fewer visits, and pair examinations with hygiene appointments on the same day.

Do you see children from Chesterfield?

Yes. Children's first examinations are £39 and families are booked together. For very young children a local NHS dentist is often the practical choice, and we will say so if that is the case.

I called Friday evening to see if they had emergency appointments due to serious tooth pain. They were very polite and willing to accommodate. Due to me being a 45-minute drive away — the closest dentist I could find on Google that was open — they assured me they would see me when I got there. Upon arrival the staff were so polite and welcoming. The expertise and advice before the procedure was amazing. Definitely worth the trip to get the pain away. 100% recommend them.

Dr Ibrahim helped me today with a difficult extraction. He is my hero for the dedication, skill and professionalism shown today. It was a tough one but wow. I was in so much pain and he saved me from it. I am eternally grateful to him. Just brilliant.

Visited today for a private emergency appointment. The practice was very clean and tidy, the staff very friendly and helpful. They really listened to my concerns and put me at ease. Addressed the problem and extracted my tooth — nothing was too much trouble. Swift service — top notch.
