DENTAL

We are situated within the hospital in a newly developed Dental Centre, which opened in September 2013.  The public Dental Service provides dental treatment on referral from General Dental Practitioners and Doctors, for patients who require specialised dental treatment or patients who are medically compromised.  We undertake home visits for immobile patients and have a state of the art wheelchair recliner for patients with mobility issues, therefore removing the need to use a hoist.  We also have the ability to provide treatment under conscious sedation for patients with a dental phobia.

There are six dental surgeries within the Centre and we will share the facility with Independent Dental Practitioners in the near future, who will provide a wide range of dental treatment on the NHS, for patients wishing to register with them.

The NHS24 out of hours service runs from the Dental Centre every second weekend, for patients who have the need to access emergency dental treatment during the weekend.
