Rochdale welcomes new dental practice

A new NHS dental practice is set to open in Rochdale, providing more than nine thousand patients with NHS dental care.

The surgery, which will be named the Roch Valley Dental Practice, will open its doors to the public in the near future. The new development is part of a 1.3 million pound investment plan for improved dental care in the region funded by NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale.

The practice, which is located on Roch Valley Way, has been formally opened by the Chairman of NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale; at the unveiling, he praised the facilities on offer at the surgery and expressed his delight at the steps being taken to ensure local residents have access to NHS dental healthcare.

The new practice will employ at least four full time NHS dentists and is expected to be able to cater for more than nine thousand new patients; staff that have been working on the site in the final stages have already received a great deal of interest from people passing the practice. The surgery is currently compiling a patient list; patients that are already on the waiting list for NHS dental care will be allocated first and the remaining places will be given out on a first come first served basis.

The practice will provide a comprehensive range of services, including restorations, extractions and root canal treatment, as well as preventive measures such as routine check-ups, screening programmes and sealant schemes.

Care in the area is constantly improving, with a new practice also planned in Middleton and a new surgery recently opened in Heywood; the local NHS trust has also recently funded a new dentist in the town of Littleborough and two new dentists in Rochdale.

If you want further details about the practice or wish to get a place on the patient list, you should contact NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale.
