The Practice: At Solihull Dental Centre and Implant Clinic you will be fortunate to have 2 trainers this year. We are a busy mixed NHS and Private practice. We have a mixture of high need and routine examination patients – perfect for training purposes. There are 5 surgeries over 2 floors. We have a number of associates offering a vast array of dental treatments, 3 hygienists, a CDT (prosthetics) and 8 members of administration and nursing staff.
At the practice we also offer implants, orthodontic treatment and facial aesthetics. If you make the most of your time with us there is always scope to observe and experience some of these advance procedures. 
Our aim is to equip you with the basic principles and building blocks of dentistry to make you independent and competent practitioners at the end of the year. We also have a breadth of experience within the practice to help you make decisions about your future within dentistry and what pathways are available to you.

The Area: The practice is located on a main high street in the Solihull Town Centre. We are easily accessible via the M42 and most of our FD's usually stay either closeby in Birmingham/Solihull or sometimes in Coventry or Sutton Coldfield. The practice also is within walking distance from a train station and many bus links.
