Due to the Red Weather Warning and the disruption caused by school closures and challenging travel conditions, we understand that some patients may need to cancel or rearrange their appointments.

The safety and wellbeing of our patients and staff is our priority, and we completely understand if attending your appointment is not possible under the current circumstances.

If you need to reschedule, please contact the practice when you can, and our team will be happy to arrange an alternative appointment for you.

Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe during this period of severe weather.

Soon we will be introducing an online booking system to make arranging appointments easier.

It’s not quite ready yet, but you may receive a message mentioning online booking while we get everything set up. Please don’t worry- this is just part of the process and the system is not live at the moment.

In the meantime you can continue to book appointments in the usual way.

We would like to apologise to any patients who have recently had appointments rearranged.

Unfortunately, one of our dentists is currently off sick, which has temporarily reduced our appointment availability.

Situations like this are never ideal, but as a small clinical team it can sometimes mean we need to adjust the diary at short notice.

As a result, some NHS and Denplan appointments have needed to be rescheduled. We completely understand that this can be frustrating and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Our team is working hard to offer alternative appointments and prioritise patients who require more urgent care.

If your appointment has been cancelled and you have not yet rearranged it, please contact the practice and our reception team will be happy to help find the next available appointment.

If you have any urgent dental concerns in the meantime, please contact the practice so we can assist you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support.
