A dental surgery in Leicester is taking on 2,000 extra patients in a move to meet the growing demand for NHS dentists.
The practice on Fosse Road South has hired two new dentists and added two new surgery rooms.
Dr Amin Govani said: "We have taken on the dentists because of demand - we see a lot of NHS patients and we had to get additional manpower.
"A lot of dentists have moved over to private practice."
He added: "We are getting 125-200 new patients every month and we cannot cope with the demand."
The two new dentists will join in the new year to add to the existing staff of five.
