The
Practice
There has been an NHS Dental Practice on this site since 1986. We completely refurbished and extended the Practice during the summer of 1999.
Being situated on the ground floor allows easy access for those in wheel-chairs, for prams and for those who find steps difficult. The front lobby allows a secure area for bicycles.
We have three fully equipped surgeries, a fully commissioned local decontamination unit and a toilet with full disabled and baby changing facilities.
We are proud to have been involved with Vocational Training and are currently involved in training Dental Nurses through various college programmes. As such, we strongly support learning, training and development of all individuals in the dental team. Our emphasis on enhancing individual knowledge is shown through the development of Personal Development Plans, which are routinely reviewed.
