What is a domiciliary dentist?
A domiciliary dentist is a fully qualified dentist who provides dental assessments and treatment outside a traditional clinic setting. We use portable equipment and strict infection-control protocols to deliver essential dental care where it’s needed most.
Typical scenarios include: private homes (housebound patients), residential and nursing care homes, and hospital bedside assessments when permitted by the ward.
Who benefits from home dental care?
- Elderly patients who find travel difficult — see Dentist for Elderly Patients.
- Housebound patients recovering from illness or with long-term conditions — see Dentist for Housebound Patients.
- Care home residents who benefit from on-site, regular visits — see Care Home Dentist Services.
- Hospital patients requiring bedside checks and urgent relief — see Dental Care for Hospital Patients.
- Disabled patients needing accessible, wheelchair-friendly care — see Dental Treatment for Disabled Patients at Home.
Treatments we can provide at home
- New patient and routine check-ups, oral health assessments and care plans
- Pain relief for toothache (temporary dressings, medicaments)
- Fillings (case-dependent), smoothing sharp edges, re-cementing simple restorations
- Denture repairs and relines at home — see Broken Denture Repair at Home
- Simple extractions where clinically appropriate and safe
- Preventive care and personalised oral hygiene coaching for patients and carers
Note: if advanced equipment (X-rays, complex surgery, or specialist instruments) is required, we’ll arrange referral to our clinic partners and coordinate transport options where possible.
