About the practice

Bupa Dental Care Kingston Eden Street is a well‑established 4 surgery practice offering a professional and supportive working environment in a busy town‑centre location. The practice operates in line with Bupa Dental Care’s clinical and operational standards, supporting clinicians to deliver high‑quality NHS and private dentistry.

The team consists of experienced clinicians, supported by a skilled and fully trained professional support team, creating a collaborative and patient‑focused environment. The practice benefits from established ways of working and a stable patient base, with opportunities to grow both NHS and private services in line with patient demand.

Located in central Kingston‑upon‑Thames, the practice sits in an affluent and highly accessible area, with strong footfall and a diverse patient demographic. Kingston offers excellent public transport links, including rail and bus routes, as well as a vibrant town centre, supporting long‑term patient demand and private potential. Kingston is located on the Southwest London / Surrey boarder.

Our practice offers Bupa Smile Plan - a payment plan that allows patients to spread the cost of their routine preventive dentistry throughout the year. This enables our patients to budget for their dental care and encourages regular attendance helping to maintain their oral health. For you it means a more stable revenue stream from a loyal patient base with absolutely no fees or admin costs - you get paid for the services you offer in line with private pricing.

Partnering with Bupa also means the unique opportunity to provide dental treatment to our insurance customers, improving your revenue streams and growing any private work you wish to undertake.

Why we're different: As the only corporate dental provider in the UK not backed by private equity, we’re in a unique position. We’re committed to the UK dental industry for the long-term – both private and NHS – and are ready to treat not just today’s patients, but generations to come.

Furthermore, as a limited liability company Bupa has no shareholders, so we’re able to focus 100% on delivering a great service for our customers. We are run commercially to ensure we remain competitive, but Bupa reinvests 100% of its profits to help provide better care for patients across the world.
