For many individuals across Wales, waiting for the chance to register with an NHS dentist has become a frustrating long wait. With increasing NHS waiting lists, limited appointment availability, and significant reform impending, thousands of patients are at extreme risk of losing access to affordable dental care.
At KAA Dental, we believe no one should have to choose between their health and their wallet. That’s why we created KAA Dent Prime, a new kind of dental membership built for people just like you.
In this blog, we’ll explain:
- What’s changing with NHS dental care in Wales
- Why so many people are being deregistered
- What KAA Dent Prime offers
- And why you must act now before it’s too late
The NHS Dental Crisis Is Getting Worse
Right now, registering with an NHS dentist in Wales is no longer as simple as calling a practice. You must now go through the Dental Access Portal (DAP), a system where you enter your details and wait to be matched with a practice near your postcode.
But here’s the catch:
- Thousands of patients are on this waiting list
- Some have been waiting for over 2–3 years
- Many are in pain, have serious dental issues, and still have no access to a dentist
Upcoming NHS Changes Will Leave Even More People Without a Dentist
What’s Changing?
- No fixed dentist: You may be allocated to any available practice.
- Routine check-ups every 18-24 months for healthy patients.
- New payment system for dentists, which may impact availability.
According to a BDA survey:
73% of dentists may reduce their NHS work. 64% consider going fully private. On the contrary only 2% feel the reforms would support long-term sustainability, 8% say reforms would improve access; and 6% think the system would provide good value for money for the taxpayer. These statistics highlight a lack of confidence in the reforms’ effectiveness. This could lead to fewer NHS dentists and longer wait times.
Impact on You
- Harder to find an NHS dentist.
- Longer waits for appointments.
- Possible higher costs if you have to seek private care.
The Cost of Waiting
We often meet patients who waited too long, either on the NHS list or avoiding private treatment due to high costs. Unfortunately, the consequences are painful and expensive:
- Severe tooth decay
- Tooth loss
- Gum disease
- Low confidence and self-esteem
- And expensive treatments like implants, bridges, or full dentures
By the time they seek help, the costs can run into thousands of pounds and sadly, not everyone can afford to get their smile back.
