The Practice: The Dental Studio moved from a two surgery practice to a new beautiful, purpose-built, 4 surgery practice in the summer of 2010 and in 2015 we expanded our practice yet again to a now 5 surgery practice.
We are very proud of our new surgery and confident it is on par with the latest government guidelines and protocols. We have a comprehensive IT set-up throughout the practice with inter-surgery communications interface. Intra-oral digital radiographs are set-up in each surgery with a separate 3D CT scanner and OPG room on the ground floor. We also have the state of the art 3D intra oral scanner. The surgery has a lovely reception area with flat screen TV and two dedicated sterilisation rooms. The practice provides a separate staff room, two offices, kitchen, locker room and WC. The surgery has modern contemporary décor and is fully air conditioned. Braintree Dental Studio is also member of the BDA Good Practice Scheme.
Currently we have 4 dentists working in our dental practice who are all confident and keen to help if situations arise.
The surgery provides a full range of NHS services, along with a wide range of private treatment options including:
- Crown, veneer, bridgework with complex full mouth rehab cases.
- Orthodontics – Clear Aligner and Fixed Brace systems.
- Dental Implants
