The aim for the Hadley Wood Practice is to offer private dentistry of the highest standard at affordable prices for the whole family in a relaxed, yet professional environment.

As a member of the BDA (British Dental Association) Good Practice Scheme we are committed to delivering a high standard of care for our patients. By following the standards set by the BDA we are confident we are up to date with governance and legal requirements for example ensuring a safe environment by preventing cross-infection and encouraging continual development of our staffs skills and knowledge.

We encourage children (under 3 years old) to visit the practice when parents or older siblings are having a check up so that they grow up with a positive experience of oral hygiene.
