Search the Registers

To confirm whether a dental professional is registered with us and able to practise in the UK, you can search our Registers below. These are updated daily.

We do not hold information on whether a person works in the NHS or private practice. If you would like to find a dentist in your area you can visit NHS Choices or BDA Find a dentist.

You can search a specific Register by entering either a name, town or any combination of these and clicking 'go'. Alternatively you can search all Registers for an individual by entering their GDC registration number.

In addition to dentists, the following groups of dental care professionals have to be registered with us in order to work:

• Clinical dental technician
• Dental hygienist
• Dental nurse
• Dental technician
• Dental therapist
• Orthodontic therapist

Furthermore, you can search for Dentists registered as Temporary Registrants and Dentists and DCPs registered as Visiting Practitioners.
