GENERAL DENTISTRY
General Dentistry at Priory Dental Practice
Your Family NHS Dentist in Bedford
At Priory Dental Practice we provide general dental services for both new and existing patients.
Our focus is on prevention rather than treatment wherever possible. We always recommend regular check-ups
which is vital in helping you keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Many dental problems are hidden and can go on to cause more serious conditions if they go undetected. If treatment is required, we will advise you accordingly and then can carry out the most appropriate course of action using the latest equipment and techniques here at the practice.
Our team of experienced dentists will make sure your visit is as comfortable as possible.
