UPDATE we have been advised at very short notice that car parking charges commence tomorrow 4th March 2025 in the car park opposite the practice

***CAR PARK UPDATE***🚘🚗
For many years we have paid the Social Club for use of their car park by patients.
Regrettably, from 10th March 2025 the car park comes under new management. There will be number plate recognition cameras and parking will be charged at £1 per hour. Unfortunately, as a small business we can no longer fund this. An App will be required to pay. Please ensure you do not inadvertently enter the car park and incur a fine.
As always there is parking available on local side streets which do not currently have any permit system.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

NHS APPOINTMENTS
We have a few "urgent access" appointments still available for tomorrow morning. There are a limited number of appointments on a first come, first served basis. Please note this is not for those seeking a new dentist for routine and ongoing NHS care, but aimed at those with a dental problem who have been unable to access NHS care elsewhere.
We expect there to be a high demand for these appointments. Please do not email to request to be seen as we are unable to deal with the volume of requests we receive by email. Please telephone the practice on 0191 5262589.
For more information about these appointments please see
