Mark Allan, general manager for Bupa Dental Care, said: “As a leading dental provider in the UK, our priority must be to enable patients to receive the care they need.

“For the majority of affected practices, this decision will allow commissioners to produce local providers for the NHS contract, tailoring services and investment for the needs of the local community, thereby providing a better opportunity for patients to continue access to NHS dental services.

“We fully understand the impact today’s decision has on our patients and on people within these practices.

“This decision has not been taken lightly and closure is a last resort.”
