Tell us about your practice

The Old Surgery Dental Practice in Crewe was founded in 1998 by Steve Lomas, who was later joined in partnership by Richard Willis.

We are all dedicated to constantly improving the way we deliver our service and are genuinely honoured that someone has chosen us to care for their smile. We do not take that privilege and responsibility lightly.

We have invested heavily in the latest clinical and dental equipment so that we know our patients are well cared for. However, most patients never notice this as they are more impressed with the comfortable seating and hot and cold beverage menu. The ambience of the practice is light and airy – it’s all about patients being at ease.
