We found out, without any prior warning at the same time as the rest of the country on Thursday evening that dental practices could re-open from 8th June. Since then, we have had mixed communications from our regulators and have been advised that further guidance on operating procedures will be provided to us next week.

At Brightside Dental, we have been working hard to do everything we can to be able to provide face to face dental care for our patients, however there are many risk assessments; team training; equipment tests and recommissioning; and the most challenging is sourcing the appropriate PPE required. None of these can be finalised until we have the further information by the government and our regulators.

We are doing everything we can to be able to open as soon as possible, however the safety of our patients and team members comes first and we need to ensure that can be met.

We will start booking appointments once we are able to and these will be initially for dental problems.

If you do wish to book an appointment, please contact us by email at info@brightsidedental. co.uk or message us via our social media channels and we will advise you accordingly.

In the meantime, if you do have a dental problem and need some help, we are available by email or phone.

Thanks very much for your continued patience and understanding and we expect to have a further update for you next week.

For most of us, over the past few weeks our lives and daily habits have changed dramatically.

This situation […]

With the practice currently closed for bookings and us still being on lockdown, with many of our patients self-isolating, dental treatment is challenging to say the least. We have been providing telephone advice and remote prescriptions where required for our patients. At the moment, we don’t know how soon the situation will change and when […]

This is Easter will be different than any other for all of us. I was due to be going to Spain with my family for a week. Over Easter, usually we meet friends and family members and an ongoing tradition is exchanging Easter eggs. This won’t be happening this year. One upside, is maybe people […]

It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you the practice is closed for new bookings until further notice. This is in line with the safety of our patients and team members health being our highest priority. As a result of the rapid progress of Coronavirus, we are only currently able to […]

Katy first visited Brightside 4 years ago, primarily because she had always been unhappy with her smile but had never found the right solution for her and it was having a major impact on her confidence.
