A dentist in Crickhowell has said it is disappointed to be leaving the town as its building lease has expired, leaving the town without NHS dental provision.

The MyDentist Practice on Beaufort Street will close at the end of June, with leaders saying there was no indication of an announcement.

The health board confirmed that it had received notice from the practise that it would no longer be providing NHS services, and said it is already searching for a new provider.

“myDentist Crickhowell has served notice on their contract to provide NHS dental services from 30 June 2025. Plans are in place to begin a procurement process for a new provider imminently.”

“Plans are in place to begin a procurement process for a new provider imminently.

“In the meantime, Powys residents can apply for an NHS dental place by joining the NHS dental waiting list at pthb.nhs.wales/dap. After you join the NHS dental waiting list you will be offered an NHS dental place as one becomes available.

A spokesperson for mydentist said it was disappointed to be leaving Crickhowell and thanked the affected staff for their support.

“We’re sad to confirm that on 30th June our practice on Beaufort Street in Crickhowell will close. The closure is due to our lease for the building coming to an end and ongoing difficulties recruiting NHS dentists due to a national shortage,” they said.

“It has been an honour to provide dental care to all our wonderful patients in Crickhowell. We would also like to thank our amazing practice team at Crickhowell for their hard work and for always putting the care of our patients first.

“We have written to patients to inform them of where they may be able to continue their dental care following the practice’s closure.”
