Questions and answers
Is Hoyland Family Dental Centre accepting new NHS patients in Barnsley?
Yes — we're currently welcoming new NHS and private patients in Hoyland and across the wider Barnsley area. NHS places locally can come and go, so it's worth getting in touch sooner rather than later. Call 01226 748404 or use our contact form to register.
Whereabouts in Hoyland are you, and how do I get there?
We're at 17 Milton Rd, Hoyland S74 9AU, on the town's one-way system near Southgate. The 66 bus runs through Hoyland between Barnsley and Elsecar, and Elsecar station on the Penistone Line is nearby. You can plan a journey at travelsouthyorkshire.com.
How much does NHS dental treatment cost?
NHS charges in England for 2026 fall into three bands. Band 1 (£27.90) covers an examination, advice and any X-rays; Band 2 (£76.60) covers fillings, extractions and root canal work; and Band 3 (£332.10) covers crowns, dentures and bridges. Some patients are exempt from charges.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your dentist will take a full history, examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues, and take any X-rays that are needed. You'll get a clear explanation of anything they find and an agreed plan, including costs, before any treatment begins.
I'm nervous about seeing a dentist — can you help?
You're far from alone, and we look after many anxious patients. Let us know when you get in touch and we'll allow extra time, explain each step and never rush you. Easing back into regular check-ups usually makes future visits feel much easier.
How do I book, and when are you open?
We're open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, and closed at weekends. Call 01226 748404 during opening hours or request an appointment through our contact form and we'll be in touch.
Which areas around Hoyland do you look after?
We're a local practice for Hoyland, Elsecar, Jump, Platts Common, Hoyland Common and Birdwell, and we welcome patients from right across the Barnsley area and the Dearne Valley.
Do you offer private treatments like teeth whitening or Invisalign?
Yes. Alongside NHS care we offer private options including professional teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners and dental implants. Call 01226 748404 to arrange a consultation and we'll talk through what would suit you.
