Forest Row Guide put this page together for people who live here and for visitors who need a dentist while they are staying nearby. If you are looking for dentists in Forest Row, start with the two practices already listed on this guide. The village is compact enough that you can walk from The Square to Station Road in a few minutes. Hours, NHS lists and private diaries change, so confirm on the official pages before you travel.
Stone Cottage on Lewes Road
Stone Cottage Dental Surgery is at 2 Stone Cottages, Lewes Road, Forest Row, East Sussex, RH18 5ES. Its own site describes a dentist in Forest Row offering general and cosmetic dentistry, and it also presents the practice as a specialist referral centre. Treatments named on that homepage include Invisalign, dental implants, oral surgery, endodontics and periodontics. The site says new private patients are welcome and asks people to call 01342 825534. The listed email is info@stonecottagedental.co.uk.
The same homepage says the practice cares for patients across Forest Row, East Grinstead, Hartfield, Ashurst Wood and nearby villages. It lists Monday hours of 08:45 to 17:15, with a closed period between 12:45 and 13:45, and it says oral surgery and periodontal clinics run on Saturday by appointment only. It also says the practice is closed for bank holidays. Treat those times as the practice’s own published hours and confirm them on the Stone Cottage site before you go.
The NHS has a service page for Stone Cottage Dental Surgery at this Lewes Road address. That page is the place to check whether the practice is offering NHS appointments. This guide does not confirm NHS availability, new-patient lists or emergency access. Use the listing for the address and official links, then confirm on the practice site or the NHS page.
Riverview Dental Centre on Station Road
Riverview Dental Centre is at Riverview Business Centre, Station Road, Forest Row, East Sussex, RH18 5DW. It is part of Dentistry For You. The practice page says it accepts NHS and private patients, and it gives the telephone as 01342 823004 and the email as forestrow@dentistryforyou.co.uk. Published hours on that page are Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. Confirm those times there, because they can move.
Dentistry For You says Riverview opened in October 2009 as a preferred provider for dental services in the Forest Row and Hartfield area when those services were commissioned by the East Sussex and Downs Weald Primary Care Trust. The group homepage says Dentistry For You was established in 1986, offers NHS and private dental care, and that all of its practices are wheelchair friendly. Treat that last point as the group’s own description.
The Riverview practice page lists NHS treatments, cleaning and prevention, check-ups, children’s dentistry, fillings, extractions, root canal treatment, dentures, crowns, bridges, veneers, teeth whitening, teeth straightening and dental implants. It says that where a treatment cannot be offered at the practice, it will refer you to the specialist concerned. The same page says the practice uses a recall system to remind patients when the next visit is due.
For urgent care, Riverview says it will try to arrange an appointment on the day it is contacted. For urgent advice or treatment outside surgery hours, the practice page tells people to call NHS 111. That is Riverview’s published advice, not a medical instruction from this guide.
NHS appointments and what this page cannot promise
The NHS page How to find an NHS dentist says you can contact any NHS dentist and ask for an appointment if you have symptoms or need a routine check-up. Some practices offer both NHS and private appointments, and the NHS asks you to request an NHS appointment if that is what you want. You may be asked to join a waiting list. A first-visit registration form does not mean you will always be able to get NHS dental care at the same practice later.
The NHS also says most adults need to pay for NHS dental appointments, and that if you cannot find an NHS dentist you can contact your local integrated care board. We leave current waiting lists, charges and emergency slots to the NHS and to each practice. If a dentist in Forest Row has been missed, use Suggest a place.
A pharmacy on The Square
Dentists in Forest Row sit close to other health stops. Ashdown Pharmacy and Travel Clinic is on The Square, Lewes Road, Forest Row, RH18 5ES. The listing describes prescription and over-the-counter pharmacy services, a travel clinic, Pharmacy First, and other NHS and private services named on ashdownmedical.co.uk. Confirm opening hours on that site or at the shop. The pharmacy is not a dental practice.
The Wellbeing page is the fuller health list. The Services page is the place for other local trades and services.
Open the Stone Cottage or Riverview listing for the address and official link, then confirm the diary on that site. If a practice has moved, closed or been missed, send a correction through Update a listing or Contact.
