Making an impact

CDS brings dental care to people who cannot be treated in general dental practice; our patients have learning disabilities, mental health issues or severe anxiety, or be in situations or locations that traditional dental services cannot reach.  We bring people the oral health care they need to thrive.

We are 100% owned by our employees, pay no dividend to external shareholders and re-invest back into care through improving clinics and training for employees. We prioritise learning and invest in our people so our patients get the best possible care.

Our Carbon Reduction Plan outlines how we are taking steps to play our part in fighting climate change.

Community Dental Services CIC is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045 for emissions scopes 1, 2 and 3. The commitment was made on 27/11/25 by the Board.

“When we arrived at the hospital the team came out to meet us at the car. Immediately I knew this team was special. They had a clear and concise plan, throughout the whole procedure. They were kind and caring not only to my son but to me too. This team are like a well-oiled precision machine.”
