Dental Academy
Free dental care by undergraduate students at the Dental Academy
The Dental Academy is currently not taking on any more patients.
The Dental Academy provides high quality dental care to patients delivered by our students. All student treatments are supervised to a high standard and are free. We are looking for patients who our student teams can treat as part of their training.
What treatments do students offer?
Teams of student dentists, dental therapists/hygienists and dental nurses offer the full range of NHS treatment including:
- Oral Health Promotion
- Fillings and Preventative Treatment
- Gum Treatment
- Crowns and Bridgework
- Dentures
- Root Canal Fillings
Is treatment by a student different?
Students work slowly so your appointment will take longer and you will need to attend several appointments. However, all students’ work is checked at relevant stages by qualified dental professionals so you can be sure you are receiving a good standard of care.
Could I have treatment at the Dental Academy?
The Dental Academy will benefit those who are happy to be treated by student teams in a supervised modern clinical setting and who
- do not currently have a dentist
- are available during the day and sometimes for long appointments (typically 1.5 hours)
- are able to come to multiple appointments
The Dental Academy is not currently accepting new patients with the exception of children under the age of 16. If you are the parent or guardian of a child and wish to book an appointment for your child please ring 02392 845281/5285.
