Powys Teaching Health Board is delighted to announce a new contract for the provision of NHS dental services in Brecon following the takeover of the former MyDentist surgery in the town.

The new owner is in the process of recruiting a new team with the intention of offering NHS service provision once they have a full team.

In the interim the provider will be offering urgent dental care and prioritised dental treatment. Please be patient during this interim period.

Please accept our apologies that we are not yet in a position to offer General Dental Services at this practice.
