Dental Theatres

Our patients include children, adults and people with special or additional needs who are referred to us from other departments within the hospital.

All the staff who work within our department have a great deal of knowledge and many years experience in all aspects of the services we provide. We are a small, friendly unit, and aim to give our patients the best care possible in a safe environment, while offering reassurance and support to those that accompany them to their appointments.
