New state-of-the-art dental practice opens after £2.1m investment
Mydentist's new base at Parkgate “substantially increases surgery capacity and team”
More than 15,000 patients are set to benefit following the UK’s largest dental care provider undertaking a £2.1million investment in relocating, merging and expanding two of its Rotherham practices.
The new mydentist practice, now located at Parkgate Shopping, will offer a greater range of dental treatments and technology, as well as longer opening hours, improved travel links, free parking, and wheelchair and disabled access.
All the dentists and staff from the previous Effingham Square and Doncaster Road sites have moved to the new location, where patient appointments are now underway, while mydentist Brinsworth Lane remains at its current location and open to patients as usual.
The merger and relocation have also led to the creation of eight new job roles, including dental clinicians, nurses and treatment coordinators, taking the Parkgate workforce to a team of more than 20.
The new practice at Parkgate will offer nine surgeries, with plans to increase to 13 in the future.
John Hudson, property director at mydentist, said: “We’re thrilled to open the doors to our new Parkgate Shopping Centre practice in Rotherham.
“The premises will not only offer improved facilities for our dedicated practice teams but also provide even more choice for our patients.”
Alisia Johnson, practice manager at mydentist, Parkgate Shopping Centre added: “The move to our new location has substantially increased our dental surgery capacity and our team, which means more care can be delivered to the local community.
“Now that we’re located within the shopping centre, it means we’re even more accessible to our patients and we look forward to welcoming patients both old and new into the new practice.
“The new practice offers a full range of treatments across three tiers of affordable dentistry - NHS dental care, myoptions private dental care and premium private dental care.
“The practice will offer myoptions affordable private check-ups and hygiene appointments through online booking, as well as a wide variety of cosmetic services, including whitening, teeth straightening, dental implants, smile makeover, facial aesthetics and composite bonding.”
