Welcome to our practice
Our dental practice in Bishop Auckland was established in 1955, originally as an NHS dental practice. In an excellent location, situated in a Victorian terraced house on the main high street, it’s been a popular choice for patients ever since.
Today, Bupa Dental Care Bishop Auckland is a modern practice, offering a wide range of NHS and private dentistry treatments, including general dentistry and cosmetic treatments. We also have emergency appointments available.
The practice team is highly motivated and experienced – some with over 30 years’ experience. Many of our patients have been coming to the practice for years and are on first name terms with the staff.
Dental treatments and services
We offer a wide range of treatments, from general dentistry to more complex treatments including implants, Invisalign (invisible braces), all-porcelain crowns and veneers.
Our practice has up-to-date equipment, including digital radiography and a dedicated sterilisation room, enabling our dentists to offer a high standard of dental care.
We may be able to offer payment options on some treatments to make it easier for you to budget. Please enquire if this is of interest.
Hours to suit you
We offer late evening and early morning appointments at the practice, making treatment more accessible to you. Just give us a call and we’ll try to find a time to suit you.
Getting to Bupa Dental Care Bishop Auckland
Our practice is easily accessible by public transport. We’re on a bus route which services the local area, with a bus stop directly outside the practice. The train station – with train lines from Darlington, Newton Aycliffe, Heighington and Shildon – is only a short walk away from the practice.
If you’re coming by car, we have off-road parking and a disabled entrance should you need it.

No, orthodontics for adults is becoming more and more common. We can talk through your options with you.
We do understand that some people really struggle with dental treatment. But we have lots of ways to help put you at ease. Please just tell us how you feel and what worries you, and then we can work together to decide on the right approach.
Generally we recommend twice yearly check-ups every six months. However, this varies on a case by case basis. Your Bupa Dental Care dentist will talk to you about when and how often we need to see you.
Fillings repair small holes in your tooth enamel. If they aren’t filled, the decay will deepen. You’ll start to feel pain, and you could end up needing root canal treatment, which is much more significant and costs more. So although you might not feel pain right now, it’s best to repair these holes as soon as possible.
