The building itself is jointly owned by ‘the Mikes’ and has undergone substantial renovation since it was purchased. The building (a 100 year-old shop unit with living accommodation above) had been, amongst other things, a butchers shop and also a youth training centre. The building now extends to 1500 square feet and has 5 surgeries. Most visitors to the practice are impressed by the internal layout and feeling of spaciousness. This is in addition to the ultra modern surgeries and facilities and being fully accessible for wheelchair users. The practice has worked hard to meet the high standards required for modern dentistry and we have been awarded the British Dental Association’s ‘Good Practice Scheme’ for the last three years. We are also a ‘training practice’ under the guidance of the Northern Deanery and we guide and mentor new dentists through their first year of practice. To achieve training practice status both Mikes and the practice team have demonstrated a commitment to regularly updating their knowledge and skills and the practice has passed regular inspections.
