UPDATE ON RE-OPENING
Dear Patient,
We hope you; your family and friends are fit and well. We would like to keep you updated following the government announcement on the 28th May 2020, in which they advised that Dental Practices may re-open from the 8th June 2020.
We are incredibly pleased and relieved to announce that we will indeed be re-opening Chiswick Park Dental & Facial practice on the 8th June 2020 in a phased return to practice. This means that we will be open on the 8th to take phones calls and speak to you directly about appointments, please do not visit the practice, we will contact you about your rescheduled, cancelled or emergency appointments.
As we have had to cancel numerous appointments since lockdown began, we may initially prioritise patients with dental emergencies or appointments to be rescheduled.
We would prefer you refrain from attending the practice unless you have an appointment.
At Chiswick Park Dental Practice, our biggest priority is your safety, comfort and wellbeing and the safety of our dental team. We have spent the time during the closure upgrading and introducing additional measures to keep you and our staff safe.
We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and safety. Due to the recent pandemic, we have reviewed our processes and introduced additional measures for your health and safety.
