About Somercotes Family Dental Centre
Somercotes Family Dental Centre sits on Lower Somercotes, in the older, original heart of this former Derbyshire coal-mining village between Alfreton and Ripley. We’re an NHS and private dental practice, and we’re currently welcoming new patients of all ages.
Our position just off the B600 (Nottingham Road) puts us within easy reach of families across Somercotes, Leabrooks, Riddings, Pye Bridge and Ironville. Trentbarton buses run along the B600 between Alfreton and Nottingham, and there’s a frequent service from Somercotes High Street to Alfreton railway station a couple of miles away — so it’s straightforward to reach us with or without a car.
We know a trip to the dentist isn’t top of anyone’s list. Whether you’re booking a routine dental check-up or finally sorting something you’ve been putting off, our team explains what’s going on in plain English and works at a pace that feels right for you.
To register or book, call 01773 609543 or use our contact form. You can see the full range of treatments we offer and read more about registering as a new patient — we’d be glad to look after you and your family.

Patient reviews

Great check up today. Emmanuel the dentist is friendly and informative. Ayesha the nurse was lovely too. I had an X-ray and clean. Both carefully done and explained X-ray to me afterwards. Thank you. Just to add I haven’t been to a dentist in 7 years..lost my place at my dentist just after Covid after being with them for nearly 50 years. I also get anxious worrying in case I need any treatment. So I’m grateful to have found a nice, local NHS dentist 😁

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Emmauel did an excellent job with my teeth cleaning. They were very thorough but gentle, and he made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Charlotte was equally wonderful and friendly. I actually felt relaxed at the dentist, which says a lot!

A really airy, warm and welcoming modern building houses superb staff. You will not encounter anywhere else a more chilled out, efficient and friendly group than you will find at the Reception. Particular mention of Emanuel Nnadi the dentist and Nimra his nurse, for a super service: check up and clean today; had fillings done 6 months ago. Both times, I got exemplary service. Highly recommend this dental practice. They are also a rare practice that takes on clients on the NHS track. There is an ethos of wanting to serve the community rather than fleece it through private practice. 🙏🫡

Best dental practice with the loveliest staff. Dr Emmanuel and Nurse Linda were amazing! Not only did they do great work, but took great care of me and made sure I was okay as I’m quite scared of the dentist.
