practice UPDATE

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL PATIENTS - LAST UPDATE 1/05/2023

RETURNING TO NORMAL

We regret to inform patients that our NHS Dental Services currently remain very restricted and understaffed. NHS England and the government have unfortunately continued to underfund NHS Dentistry, which has led to a dramatic exodus of dentists and nurses from the service.

We have struggled to recruit clinical staff and dentists to provide NHS care which has made the provision of our service limited. As dentists have left the service, it has resulted in a situation where we cannot fill the vacancies and as such, if you were previously treated on the NHS by a dentist who has left the practice, you may be without a dentist who can offer you NHS care.

If you would like to explore options for dental care outside of the NHS then please speak to a member of our team to assist you on this matter.

We would like to thank our patients for their understanding and cooperation in this matter and look forward to seeing them as they return to the dental practice.

We are experiencing a very high call volume, so please accept our apologies if we are unable to answer your call straight away. You are able to send us an email on eltham@s3dental.co.uk.
