A new state-of-the-art NHS dental practice has now opened at 12 Milton Road, Grays, RM17 5EZGrays, bringing much-needed access to NHS dentistry for local residents.

Grays Dental Care, delivered by DentistryForYou in partnership with NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB), has opened with five modern surgeries and two newly recruited dentists.

The practice will provide 5,000 NHS dental units in its first year, increasing to 10,000 per year thereafter — a major step forward for a community that has faced long waiting times and limited access to NHS dental care.

The new practice has been designed with accessibility in mind and includes specialist features such as a bariatric dental chair, supporting patients who may struggle to access dental services elsewhere.

Grays Dental Care is now accepting new NHS patients.
