Practice open for all routine and urgent dental care.
Face coverings must still be worn when attending for appointment unless you hold a valid exemption.

There are currently no restrictions placed on healthcare settings, including dental practices and you are actively encouraged to keep all scheduled appointments.
Since reopening in June 2020, we at Great Wyrley Dental Practice, have introduced stringent measures to ensure that the safety of our patients and staff is our priority, including regular screening and regular testing of all staff members and strict disinfection protocols, before, during and after every patient.
The practice maintains a closed-door policy and patients will be seen on a strict appointment only basis and subject to our COVID-19 pre-appointment screening procedures.
If you have any concerns about attending, please feel free to contact our reception team to discuss your concerns.
