Policies & Services

It is our practice philosophy to promote dental health at all times. Therefore we recommend regular check-ups. These will also help to keep down the cost of your treatment. We employ several dental hygienists who are trained in all aspects of dental care. including scaling and polishing, and giving advice on promoting dental health.
A selection of oral hygiene aids are available for purchase.

Failed Appointments Due to the pressures arising from the new 1996 NHS Dental Contract, patients who miss more than two arranged appointments will not be seen again at this practice.

Special arrangements can be made to provide home visits for registered patients who are very sick or disabled. There is no extra charge for this service on the N.H.S. but standard NHS patient charges may apply for treatment delivered.

There are ground floor surgeries which are suitable for the disabled or those patients who may prefer not to use the stairs. Wheelchair access is available directly via our new ramp to the front of the building or from our car park at the rear of the building. Please notify the receptionist if you require access from the rear of the building. Toilet facilities are available on the first floor.Subject to planning and building planning, we hope to install a ground floor access toilet for patients in the near future. We have a small car park at the rear of the practice. Car parking space is restricted to staff and patients with disabilities.
