A shortage of NHS dentists means people in Ullapool are also likely to have to pay for dental care.
Her former dentist served the town, which has a population of 1,500, and its outlying areas.
He said: "It's a round trip of around 110 miles, which is a couple of hours there and back, you can't just nip out to the dentist. He has concerns that the lack of preventative care may lead to bigger dental issues in the future, which will end up costing him even more money. He said it was the latest in a line of cuts that was making it "increasingly difficult and expensive to live in rural areas."A spokesperson for NHS Highland said patients affected by the Ullapool surgery's closure had been given the option to access private dental care.Earlier this week the professional body for dentists warned that NHS dental staffing problems could get worse.
