Vita Dental Care

Vita Dental Care Vita Dental Care is a new NHS and Private dental practice which opened its doors in December 2015. Down.

Welcome to Vita dental care which was opened by Dr Christine Thomson in 2015 and is conveniently located in the commuter town of Comber, Co. We are very pleased to be offering the best in general NHS and cosmetic dentistry to give you that smile you always desired. Christine graduated from University of Dundee in 2007 with a BDS with Honours. She has worked in various dental practices in Scotland

and Northern Ireland, most recently in Saintfield, before starting up her own practice here in Comber in 2015. She has developed a keen interest in minimally invasive restorative and cosmetic dentistry and as such she has done various postgraduate training courses to further her knowledge in dentistry and has completed her training in Botox and dermal fillers as well as the Inman aligner and ClearSmile aligner orthodontic appliances. Christine and her team will be using state-of-the-art technology, regular dental training courses and keeping an eye on current dental research developments so that we can do everything we can to ensure professional care for your teeth. It goes without saying that a friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere form a natural part of your visit. Our practice philopsophy is to promote good dental health at all times through regular dental check-ups. Our surgeries have been equipped to create a comfortable and calming atmosphere to ensure that you enjoy your dental journey with us. We aim for each patient to see one dentist on a continuing basis. However, if this is not possible for any reason, we will make suitable alternative arrangements for you to see another dentist within the practice. Our ground floor facilites are suitable for disabled patients and wheelchair users. Please let our reception team know if you require these facilities when making your appointment.

Emergency practice closure (Friday 24th January) due to Storm Eowyn

The Met Office has issued a red alert, which covers all of Northern Ireland, and will apply from 7am on Friday until 2pm. This warns of "very dangerous conditions" and "widespread disruption".

As such all routine dental checkups and non-urgent dental treatment has been postponed and the practice will be open for dental emergencies from 2pm onwards once the weather warning has been lifted. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause.

🦷Help with NHS Dental Costs 🦷

Many households in Northern Ireland that are in receipt of certain benefits will begin moving to Universal Credit and this will have an effect on exemptions from NHS dental charges. We understand that these changes can be confusing and there is little guidance online to help you with this, so we have outlined some key information below for you.

At present, anyone in receipt of NHS tax credits, income support, or income-based job seekers allowance are exempt from NHS dental charges, however once you are moved to Universal Credit, you will no longer be automatically exempt.

The only benefits/circumstances that are still fully exempt from NHS dental charges are as follows:

- Anyone under 18 years of age or;
- Anyone aged up to 18 years 11 months but still in full time education
- Anyone that is pregnant, or has given birth in the last 12 months
- Anyone in receipt of Pension Credit Guarantee

All low income households and those in receipt of Universal Credit, PIPs and ESA must complete a HC1 form and if eligible they will be provided with either a HC2 or HC3 certificate showing full or partial exemption from NHS dental charges. You can get these forms online on the NI Direct Website to print out, or collect them from your local jobs and benefits office. Please note it can take several weeks from completion of the form to finding out if you are eligible for help with your NHS dental charges.

Unfortunately dental practices cannot check your exemption for you, and it is the patients responsibility to declare and/or provide proof of exemption from NHS dental charges before you receive any dental treatment. If you are unable to do this, you must pay privately for any dental treatment you received on the day of your appointment. If you are unsure whether or not you pay, we are happy to rearrange your appointment.

If you need any help or further advice regarding the completion of HC1 forms, please contact your local jobs and benefits office, or speak with your Universal Credit advisor.

Thank you!

Yesterday the staff said farewell to our foundation dentist Corrin as he starts his new position in the maxillofacial department at the Ulster hospital and welcomed our new foundation dentist Lui who will be spending the next year with us.
