North Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust (PCT) hopes to have the new surgery open in Scunthorpe in June.
It will begin a consultation stage later this month before putting the contract out to tender.
A PCT spokesman said: "The new dental practice will remove the need for the PCT to continue maintaining a waiting list for people wishing to access NHS dental services within North Lincolnshire."
The surgery could then be included within a clinic in Crosby planned to open in about 2011.
Chris Huyton, chairman of the Local Dentistry Committee, believes a two or three man practice would be enough to satisfy everyone on the waiting list.
