Dentistry For You

Dentistry For You: a network of dental practices in the UK

Dentistry For You is a dental care organisation with practices across London, Essex, the Midlands, East Sussex, the South West of England, Norfolk, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. According to its presentation, it was established in 1986 to provide dental services to the community and remains committed to the NHS, accepting both new NHS and private patients.

Dental services available

The clinical offering combines routine treatments and advanced procedures. General services include video consultations, dental emergency care, dental examinations, cleaning and prevention, fillings, extractions and root canal treatment. Also included are dentures, bridges, crowns and false teeth, as well as bad breath treatment and children's dentistry with fissure sealants.

In the cosmetic and reconstructive field, the network offers dental implants, orthodontics, whitening, veneers and facial aesthetics treatments. Advanced services are completed with minor oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics, CBCT/OPG imaging and out-of-hours care, as well as a late night service.

Patients and preventive approach

The practice cares for patients with special needs and dedicates specific sections to the oral health of children, teenagers and older people. Its educational material covers topics such as dental erosion, sensitivity, gum care, periodontal disease, mouth conditions and the relationship between oral health and the rest of the body, including oral cancer prevention and the effects of smoking.

Quality and assurance

Dentistry For You states that it has an in-house quality assurance programme. According to its description, a quality and support lead visits each practice on a regular basis to monitor and support clinical practice, with the aim of maximising care quality and compliance with guidelines. Patient satisfaction is presented as a central pillar of this programme.

Training and corporate activity

The organisation maintains a dental academy with continuing professional development days, courses for dentists and foundation training, and has a charitable foundation. It also publishes information on careers, policies, privacy, complaints and links to the regulatory bodies GDC and CQC.
