14,000 new dental places available in Hampshire

Sample News Big

Two new dental practices are set to open in Hampshire, creating 14,000 new NHS dental places.

SCA Trafalgar will open a new practice in Totton, creating 6,000 new places and Genix Dental Care in Eastleigh will make 8,000 new places available.

The two new practices will make a significant difference to local residents; in previous years, people in the area have had difficulty finding an NHS dental practice that has spare dental places; however, with the opening of the new surgeries, this should no longer be an issue.

NHS Hampshire has invested a huge amount of money in dental services over the course of the last few years and there are currently 70 dental practices in the county taking on new NHS patients.

The new SCA Trafalgar dental practice will open on Salisbury Road; the surgery will replace the Totton Dental Centre, which offered private dental care and was run by Dr Nigel Charlton. Dr Charlton will continue to work at the new practice, which has been renovated in the last two weeks. SCA is a social enterprise, which already runs five dental practices in the Hampshire area; any profits that are made are reinvested in the business and the company will work closely with NHS Hampshire to focus on delivering first-class dental care.
