We have three fully equipped modern state of the art surgeries which are full computerized with iSmile, digital radiography and rotary instruments. We have a fully HTM-01-05 compliant centralized new decontamination room that meets best practice guidelines.  

We have been a BDA good practice for many years and our aim is to provide a comprehensive range of high quality dental care in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. We are committed to providing excellent standards of dental care to our patients. The practice has achieved an outstanding CQC report in the recent years.

We are a team of three dentists, a hygienist, a manageress and helpful nursing and reception staff. As a practice we have regular social events such as Christmas parties and get together events throughout the year. We all work as a robust team and are very friendly, approachable and always operate an open door policy. This will allow the trainee dentist a warm, friendly, yet professional environment to learn and thrive. We have regular staff meetings and CPD training through out the year and trainee participation is  strongly encouraged. We will like to encourage the foundation dentist to enjoy and gain a wide range of experience in all aspects of dentistry which will help them to become a confident dental practitioner at the end of their DFT year.
