NHS dental care in Bangor
CrisEliza Dental Clinic is a mixed NHS and private dental practice in Bangor. NHS care is provided in accordance with NHS Wales contract arrangements, available capacity and Health Board allocation.
NHS dental care in Wales is organised around individual oral-health need and prevention. Your dentist will recommend how often you should return based on your clinical risk rather than automatically arranging the same interval for every patient.
Existing NHS patients
If you already receive NHS dental care from CrisEliza Dental Clinic, please contact the practice directly for routine appointments, recall care or urgent dental advice.
Recall intervals are based on your individual oral-health needs. Some patients may need to attend more frequently, while patients with stable oral health may be recalled less often.
If you have recently attended an NHS practice
If you have received NHS treatment from a dental practice within the last four years, you should contact that practice first. If you cannot return to that practice, you may apply through the NHS Wales Dental Access Portal.
If you do not currently have an NHS dentist
If you do not currently have an NHS dentist in Wales and are looking for routine NHS dental care, you should register your interest through the NHS Wales Dental Access Portal.
The portal is a national NHS Wales service. It records interest in routine NHS dental care and Health Boards use it to allocate available NHS places. Applying does not mean immediate acceptance or a place at a particular practice, and CrisEliza Dental Clinic cannot directly control when a patient is allocated.
The Dental Access Portal is not an emergency booking service. Please keep your contact details up to date after applying.
Who can use the Dental Access Portal?
A person applying for themselves should generally be aged 16 or over and either live at an address in Wales for more than six months of the year or attend a Welsh GP practice.
You may also be able to apply on behalf of a child under 16, a family member, friend, neighbour, someone you care for or someone with whom you have a trusted relationship. Family members are not necessarily allocated to the same practice.
NHS access is subject to current contract capacity, Health Board allocation and applicable NHS Wales arrangements. New NHS places may be allocated through the NHS Wales Dental Access Portal in accordance with Health Board arrangements.
NHS urgent dental care
If you already receive NHS care from CrisEliza Dental Clinic and develop an urgent dental problem, contact the practice first. We will advise you and, where clinically appropriate and capacity allows, arrange urgent assessment.
If you do not currently have an NHS dentist and need urgent NHS dental care, contact NHS 111 Wales for advice and access to the local urgent dental service. The Dental Access Portal is for routine NHS dental care and should not be used for emergencies.
If you need urgent NHS dental care outside normal practice opening hours, contact NHS 111 Wales. In the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board area, NHS 111 Wales provides dental helpline access information for Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham.
Urgent clinics are by appointment only. Please do not attend an urgent clinic without an appointment. Availability is limited, and patients may be triaged before an appointment is offered.
Problems that may need urgent dental advice
- Severe dental or facial pain that is not controlled by appropriate pain relief
- Facial or mouth swelling that is not rapidly spreading and you are not systemically unwell
- A broken adult tooth causing severe uncontrolled pain
- Bleeding after dental treatment that cannot be controlled at home
- Dental or soft-tissue infection requiring prompt assessment
- A mouth ulcer, lump or sore lasting more than three weeks
Problems that may be routine rather than urgent
- Pain controlled by appropriate self-care
- Minor dental trauma
- A loose crown, bridge or veneer
- A fractured filling
- A loose or damaged denture
- Bleeding gums
- Routine treatment needs
- Post-extraction bleeding that can be controlled with local pressure
If you are unsure whether your problem is urgent, contact the practice or NHS 111 Wales for advice.
When to seek urgent medical help
Call 999 or attend an Emergency Department for a life-threatening emergency, severe or rapidly spreading facial swelling, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, major facial trauma, collapse or uncontrolled bleeding.
If you need urgent NHS dental advice and do not have an NHS dentist, contact NHS 111 Wales.
Private emergency appointments
Private emergency dental assessments may be available through CrisEliza Dental Clinic during normal opening hours and, where a dentist is available, after hours. Private fees apply, and availability is not guaranteed.
Private emergency care is separate from NHS care. Attending privately does not place a patient onto an NHS list and does not provide future NHS acceptance at this practice.
Please call before travelling. An appointment is not confirmed until you have spoken with a member of the dental team. Patients must not attend without a booked appointment.
Patients waiting for an NHS place may choose to attend privately. Choosing private care does not affect their ability to remain on the Dental Access Portal, but private attendance does not provide later NHS acceptance at this practice. Please ask the practice if you need this confirmed for your circumstances.
