Please make use of our Patient Feedback Form to allow us to understand what you appreciate about our practice and any other needs which should be addressed. Our complaints code of practice is available for our patients. If you are a registered patient, we welcome your feedback. We occupy the first and second floors of an Edwardian listed building in one of the oldest areas of Abingdon.

We formulate our treatment recommendations based on discussion with you about the options available and which ones would suit your personal circumstances. We believe that this approach helps you to become involved in your care and achieves the best outcomes. In formulating all of our recommendations, we stick to something called the daughter test.

We pride ourselves in providing a same day emergency service for our registered patients during normal working hours. Even if you have not been to our practice before, and you are looking for emergency dental care, we will still do our best to help.

Outside of these hours, we offer holiday and emergency treatment and where possible this is provided by ourselves or, if we are not available we can arrange for you to be seen at another local practice.A call out fee may be charged out of hours, but we will always provide free advice over the telephone.

Everyone's teeth will darken with age and can detract from an otherwise perfect smile. We can now whiten teeth easily and without causing any harm. The process involves taking impressions of your teeth, from which we make special gum shields called trays which have a reservoir for the bleaching gel.
