*Update*

We have successfully migrated to our new patient management system in preparation for the new NHS contract that is to be introduced by Welsh Government on 1st April 2026.
Please be aware that all of us are trying to navigate through the new system. We are prioritising emergency requests (such as making emergency dental appointments) and this might mean a delay in routine requests (such as referrals, making routine appointments, sending out recall reminders, etc.). It will also mean that staff might take longer to process your request, be it by telephone, e-mail, or in person, than perviously.
We thank you for your patience during this period.

A reminder that we are closed today between 8:30 am to 2:00 pm for essential training and computer software migration.

Following the computer software migration, it will take our team longer than usual to respond to requests than usual as we navigate the new system. We thank you for your understanding during this transitional period.

*Update*
Our electricity supply has now been restored. We will be aiming to contact all patients affected by the power cut as soon as possible to rebook their appointments.
Thank you for your understanding.

Due to a fault on the National Grid we are suffering from a power cut.
We are currently unable to see any patients or handle any calls at this time.
The circumstances are unfortunately completely out of our control and we have been reassured by the National Grid that their engineers are attempting to rectify the problem as quickly as possible.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we will endeavour to update everyone when we have more information.

*Exciting news*

We are currently undergoing some renovation work in order to expand our practice.
This unfortunately means that there will be some residual noise during working hours in the next few weeks.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will aim to update you all on our exciting development in the coming weeks.
Thank you all for your understanding.
