The team
Two dentists and one assistant. Both dentists do restorative work and surgery; orthodontics is followed by one of them only, which is why brace appointments are spaced further apart.
Hygiene and equipment
Instruments are autoclaved after every patient and the cycle is logged. Handpieces are disinfected between treatments. The practice has digital radiography, which lowers the dose compared with film.
Clinical waste is collected separately by a licensed contractor.
Access
The practice is on the first floor and there is a lift. Say so when you book if you use a wheelchair: the surgery at the back is wider and you will be seen there directly.
Book an appointment
Held free every morning, Sunday to Thursday. They cannot be booked in advance, which is what keeps them available for the pain of the day.
