The Practice: The Dental Practice is a mixed NHS/Private practice with five dentists, a hygienist and a dental therapist. We have 8 dental nurses several of which are radiography and OHI trained. We cater for all kinds of patients and we do our best to accommodate everyone. We have recently refurbished the practice to improve our patient experience and include disabled access and toilet. 
We brand ourselves as a family dental practice providing high quality general dental and hygiene care with an excellent level of service from all other non-clinical staff. 
We are a fully computerised practice using Kodak R4 software for clinical and administrative notes and appointment books. Our NHS forms are transmitted electronically using EDI technology. Our patient recalls are managed automatically by the R4 software.
We have a friendly, outgoing and well-established team and we regularly organise team building days to enjoy as a team. 

The Area: ​Beeston Dental Practice is located in Beeston which is a large suburb of Nottingham located 5 miles from the main city. The practice is located in a quiet residential area just 300 meters from Beeston town square. Beeston boasts the largest town centres of all of Nottingham’s suburbs and contains all the usual shops, cafes, bars and restaurants that you would expect to find in such a town. 
There is parking on the premises of the dental practice. Beeston also has a large bus station and tram stop very close to the practice as well as Beeston Railway Station which is a 10 min walk.
