    The Dental on the Banks Experience

    We are so glad to be back open to be able to see and treat all of our patients again! As our team is back in action with our enhanced PPE and protocols, you can continue your journey to get the smile of your dreams with the full Dental on the Banks experience. While there are some changes in place (such as no / less waiting in our lobby and we are unable to provide refreshments for now); our level of care for you and your smile remains higher than ever!


    Before you enter the practice, you will be able to check-in for your appointment digitally using your phone. We will also check-in with you two days before your appointment to make sure you are feeling well and have not been experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. When you do come into the practice, your temperature will be taken and we will also provide you with a face covering, shoe coverings and hand sanitisation.


    Even though we are back open, we will still be offering FREE online consultations for all. In this way not only do we minimise contact, but you can also book in for a time and date that suits you to discuss your smile, your smile goals, interest free payment plans and more with our team!

    Dentist PPE and the New Normal

    Now that we are back open after ‘lockdown’, when you come for your appointment there will be an element of the ‘new normal’ when it comes to your patient journey. For starters, we have altered our appointments diary so that we minimise the amount of people (both staff and patients) in the practice at any one time. See this in the video above below.


    Before you enter the practice, you will be able to check-in for your appointment digitally using your phone. We will also check-in with you two days before your appointment to make sure you are feeling well and have not been experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. When you do come into the practice, your temperature will be taken and we will also provide you with a face covering, shoe coverings and hand sanitisation.

    You will then come straight through to the consultation or treatment room where our air filters (throughout the practice) will always be on and working. As we are sure you can understand, these steps are taken to ensure your own safety and the safety of our team and fellow patients too. We have always been a safe and sterile environment. Even so, we want to take the time to show you our enhanced dentist PPE and protocols that we have put in place to offer you the optimum in health, hygiene and safety anytime you attend for treatment.


    In the video below, Dr. Damon demonstrates the different versions of enhanced dentist PPE we have invested in which includes full head-to-toe PPE, surgical standard respirators, upgraded aerosol shields and more! These will be implemented as required for certain treatments. Between all appointments as always, the team will thoroughly disinfect the dental surgery – thus reducing the risk of exposure to anything harmful while you attend. As we are back open, you can contact us now to arrange your appointment!

    Dental on the Banks is Re-Opening!

    To all our amazing patients! Following the announcement by the government on the 28th of May, we are incredibly pleased and excited to announce that we will be re-opening Dental on the Banks from Monday the 8th of June 2020! We have had to cancel numerous appointments since ‘lockdown’ began three months ago and will initially be prioritising appointments for our existing patients who have had dental emergencies or appointments cancelled – in order of urgency upon our re-opening. Please do not attend the clinic unless you have an appointment. At Dental on the Banks the most important thing is patient safety and comfort and that is why we have spent the time of closure upgrading the clinic and introducing the following measures to keep our patients and staff SAFER than ever.


    The clinic as you are aware was always a very clean and safe environment. However, we have enhanced this even further and have now placed hand sanitisers at entry points, upgraded our PPE and redesigned the patient journey in line with social distancing. In tandem with this, we will be conducting pre-screening tests of patients which is likely to include taking your temperature on arrival.

    We will be booking your appointments to ensure that the practice and waiting areas are not overcrowded. We will do this by leaving suitable gaps between appointments, making sure that you can attend the practice while maintaining a suitable distance from one another in accordance with government guidelines. We will also be creating clinics for patients who are most vulnerable, to help minimise contact with others for this group while they are at the practice.


    To further avoid overcrowding when you arrive at the practice, we ask that you wait in your car or in a safe place outside of the practice until called in. We will notify you via your phone when you should enter the practice. You will be required to fill in all relevant forms on your electronic device before you enter the practice from the comfort of your home. This means that you will not have to touch a pen, paper, or any electronic device other than your own when you attend for your appointment. We will ask that you pay using a contactless card or online payment method. This crucial step greatly reduces touch points and helps to minimise contact at the practice.

    Between all appointments as always, the dental team will thoroughly disinfect the dental surgery – thus reducing the risk of exposure to anything harmful while you are in our dental chair. We thank you all for your patience during this difficult time and look forward to seeing you again soon upon our re-opening! We will be in touch as soon as we are ready to see you.
