Trying to find a private dentist near you shouldn’t feel overwhelming, but it often is. Too many choices, unclear pricing, long waits, or not knowing who to trust can make the first step feel daunting.
We understand. Whether NHS options aren’t right or past experiences have put you off, Floss helps you search for and find the right private dentist by understanding what matters most to you, then matches you with dentists who fit those needs.
(Emotionally, Financially, Personally)
We don’t just match you with any dentist, we focus on the real reasons booking a dentist can feel difficult.
Here’s what we consider:
With Floss, if the emotional match isn’t right, nothing else matters.
"In 15 years, I've watched brilliant colleagues lose anxious patients because the emotional match wasn't there. And I've seen terrified patients transform completely when they find someone who actually gets them. The clinical skill was never the problem. It's whether you feel safe in that chair."
- Dr Dharaka, Dentist & Floss Clinical Director
Built By Someone Who's Seen It From The Other Side. Our co-founder isn't a tech person who thought "dental booking needs disrupting." She's a dentist who spent 15 years in Greenwich Borough watching anxious patients ghost appointments, avoid treatment for years, and suffer in silence. Not because they didn't care. Because they couldn't find someone who understood.
So she built Floss. A proper matching service based on emotional intelligence, not just postcode proximity.
It doesn’t matter if it’s your first visit or it’s been years. Feeling terrified, cautious, worried about cost, or unsure about complex treatment, Floss helps you find a private dentist who truly understands your needs. They’ll guide you through every step, answer your questions, and help you take control of your dental health, in a way that suits you.

I’m a working mum of two, and finding time to book appointments is always at the bottom of my to-do list. I needed a hygienist but kept putting it off because calling around during work hours just wasn't happening. I found Floss one evening on the train home and booked an appointment in minutes. What impressed me was that it didn't just show me the nearest hygienist—it matched me based on my availability and what I actually needed. No phone tag, no "we'll call you back," just a straightforward booking that worked around my life. If you're someone who puts off dental care because the process itself is exhausting, Floss makes it genuinely easier. Highly recommend for busy parents or anyone who needs appointments to work around them, not the other way around.
