Our Practice

Portslade Dental Centre was established in October 2002 and is part of the Dental Centre Group with branches in Brighton and Crawley. Every year our practices provide dental care to over 15,000 patients in the South East of England.

We are a member of the BDA Good Practice Scheme, a quality assurance framework for UK dental practices demonstrating a visible commitment to providing quality dental care to nationally recognised best practice standards.

Our modern surgeries are fully equipped, employing 5 Dentists, 1 Hygienist and 12 Support Staff. Our team of experienced and friendly clinicians offer both NHS and Private treatment in a modern and comfortable practice setting.

My family and I have attended Portslade Dental Centre for over 5 years. The staff are always friendly and helpful and try to accommodate us. We have had the same dentist all this time and he has been professional and caring, especially with the kids.

PORTSLADE DENTAL CENTRE

Our practice aims to provide dental care of a consistent quality, for all patients. We have management systems to help us and which define each practice member’s responsibilities when looking after you.

In proposing treatment we will take account of your own wishes. We will explain options, where appropriate, and costs, so that you can make an informed choice. We will always explain what we are doing.

We will do all we can to look after your general health. We will ask you about your general health, and about any medicines being taken. This helps us to treat you safely. We keep all information about you confidential.

Contamination control is also essential to the safety of our patients. Every practice member receives training in practice systems for contamination control.

We screen all patients for mouth cancer at routine checkups. We ask patients about tobacco and alcohol use because they increase your oral cancer risk.

Practice working methods are reviewed regularly at meetings of all staff. We encourage all staff to make suggestions for improving the care we give patients.

We regularly ask patients for their views on our services. We have systems for dealing promptly with patient complaints and for ensuring that lessons are learnt from any mistakes that we make.

All dentists in the practice take part in continuing professional education, meeting the General Dental Council’s requirements. We aim to keep up-to-date with current thinking on all aspects of general dentistry, including preventive care which reduces your need for treatment.

All staff joining the practice are given training in practice-wide procedures. Once a year, there is an individual review of training needs for everyone in the practice.

All members of the practice know of the need to ensure that dentists are working safely. In the unlikely event that a dentist in this practice becomes unfit to practise, we have systems to ensure that concerns are investigated and, if necessary, acted upon.
