The Trusts Dental Services is comprised of three main components, the Dental Hospital, the Community Dental Service and the North of Tyne Out of Hours Service.
Newcastle’s Dental Hospital is the major centre of specialist dental services for the northern region. We treat patients referred to us for a wide range of services providing expert dental care and advice and as we are one of the leading teaching hospitals in the UK, with pioneering research projects, and train a large number of dental specialists and dental students.
The Community Dental Department provides a full range of dental treatment for patients who are residents of Newcastle and who fit specific criteria.
The North of Tyne Out of Hours Dental Emergency and Advisory Service provides advice and / or dental treatment to patients whose clinical need necessitates general dental services outside of normal opening hours.

Pioneering dental care in the UK
We are one of the leading teaching hospitals in the UK, with pioneering research projects, and train a large number of dental specialists and dental students. Patients with more straightforward dental problems are sometimes referred to students to help them in their training and research.
We believe that aftercare is an important part of any procedure and will always give you advice on pain management and any sort of food and drink you should avoid after treatment.
