Notice of Re-opening

Following the government announcement that dental practices are able to re-open from Monday, 8th June, we are pleased to confirm that we are working hard to ensure that we will be ready to safely resume face-to-face appointments.

We will prioritise patients waiting for treatment. according to need initially, and will be getting in touch to arrange/confirm these appointments.

It is essential that all appointments are made by phone or email during the next few weeks, as we will be unable to admit patients into the practice without a confirmed appointment.

If you need an appointment urgently, please email us or leave a message on the practice answerphone with your contact details.  We will continue to monitor and return all calls.

We are very much looking forward to returning to routine dentistry as soon as possible and would like to thank all patients and staff for their patience and understanding during this difficult time.  If you have missed your recall appointment during the time we were closed, or your appointment was cancelled, a member of our team will be in touch to book you a new appointment.   Things will be very different – the empty waiting room, operating at reduced capacity, the additional PPE and even more meticulous disinfection procedures.

Please be assured that the safety of our staff and patients is of paramount importance to us.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

How has Cestria Dental Practice responded to Covid-19?

Whilst the standards for UK dentistry were already very high, these changed during the Red & Amber phases of Government Coronavirus management. All dental practices were instructed to close and new Urgent Dental Centres were initially set up to deal with managing the most serious dental emergencies during ‘lock-down’. Whilst we were unable to see patients during this period, the team was hard at work behind the scenes. Calls were monitored daily and patients received advice and emergency medicines, as appropriate.  We kept informed of the new standard operating procedures that were being developed and started to plan for the changes that were anticipated once general dental practices would be allowed to open again. We were pleased to be ready to open on the first day we were allowed to, Monday 8 June 2020.

How have we enhanced safety?

Team training & development

New social distancing measures

New standard operating processes

Reduced patient numbers

Covid triage prior to appointment

Restricted access to reception

Enhanced cross infection control processes

Increased specification PPE – all clinical staff fit tested for respirator masks for AGPs

Hand sanitising on entry to practice

Increased cleaning of communal areas

Fogger disinfectant machines after AGPs
