OUR VALUES
We believe that honesty is the best policy – there may be several routes to solving any one dental problem and we know that the patient’s wishes come first. We will not try to force you down any treatment route with which you are not comfortable, and our qualified dental healthcare professionals are happy to discuss any questions you may have.
Furthermore, Dental Express also believes that prevention is the key to dental health. We keep this in mind with all aspects of our work – whether performing fillings or just a simple check-up, we ensure our patients are fully informed about how to maintain their dental hygiene, or indeed any work they’ve had done.
