What is a Domiciliary Dentist?
A domiciliary dentist is a dental professional who provides care outside of the clinic — most often in a patient’s home, care home, or hospital bedside. This type of service is sometimes called home-visit dentistry or mobile dental care.
Why domiciliary dentistry matters
For many people, travelling to a dental practice is difficult or even impossible. Domiciliary dentists make care accessible for:
- Elderly and housebound patients
- People with mobility issues or disabilities
- Patients with severe anxiety or agoraphobia
- Residents of care homes or hospitals
What services can be provided?
Common domiciliary treatments include check-ups, pain relief, simple fillings, extractions, denture repairs or replacements, and oral hygiene support. Complex procedures are referred back to a clinic or hospital team.
