NHS Dental Care

Our dental practice is open for all routine appointments to NHS patients who have attended within the last two years . If you need a dentist please contact us by phone and you will be given advice or offered an appointment if appropriate. For those who have been unable to make an appointment with us and require urgent NHS dental care you can still use NHS 111 online who will direct you to other local practices offering unscheduled-care sessions. We are able to offer treatment to some vulnerable groups of patients through the Thames Valley ICB NHS flexible commissioning scheme. This provides some access slots to:

Patients with a learning disability

Looked after children

Homeless people

Families of armed forces personnel

Asylum seekers and refugees

Residents of care homes who are able to attend the dental practice for treatment

Patients who need dental check ups in support of hospital treatment

Pregnant and nursing mothers

Other groups who may be locally identified as more vulnerable and would find it hard to access services ordinarily

We are committed to improving the quality of dental care we offer and have been actively participating in three national clinical research projects. We are looking into the effect of lifestyle choices on oral health (ENHANCE-D), the best way of treating deep tooth decay (SCRiPT) and alternative ways to treat toothache following tooth decay (PIP). We would like to thank our patients who have agreed to be part of the studies and helped to make us the lead national recruiter in SCRiPT.
