Location, location, location
Having a dental practice situated 5 minutes down the road from home or work can be highly beneficial and play a huge part when choosing a dental practice for yourself. Travelling for hours for your regular oral check-up can become something of a hindrance when pushed for time. This along with the potential parking implications, roadside parking or a car park for the practice can all impact your choice of surgery.
But, although these things all play a part in your decision, what else should be considered?
The standard of care

The masks, the antibacterial gels and new standards to be adhered to throughout all different industries and it is important to know that Oldmeldrum Dental maintains a high standard of cleanliness and care.
