Covid-19 Information
The Chief Dental Officer released guidance with a change in circumstances, which has allowed us to open our doors to our patients from Monday 8th June onwards. This is good news. We understand a great number of patients have been eagerly awaiting dental care. With that said, the risk posed by COVID-19 has still not disappeared, and so we have been working hard to put procedures in place to ensure that we can deliver the safest care possible to our patients.
Please note the current national lockdown from Tuesday 5th January 2021 has not changed the way we work, and we remain open for all necessary appointments and treatments.
To allow for social distancing, fewer people will be allowed to enter the practice at any one time. There will also be longer times in between procedures to allow for thorough decontamination to take place. This may mean a reduced volume of appointments with us, but rest assured we shall try and see you as soon as possible.
Whilst our routine care is well underway, in line with government guidance we will be prioritising bookings for those in most need i.e. those in severe dental pain or those with acute dental infection. We are currently only able to see pre booked appointments so please do not arrive at the surgery without an appointment.
If you do need to get in touch with us, please phone or email us, rather than attending in person.
Finally, we would like to extend a hearty thank you to all our patients for your patience during this difficult time. We are very much looking forward to seeing you soon.
