Practice of the month

02 June 2015
Volume 31 · Issue 5

A leading dental practice from Crewe, dedicated to quality and preventative care, has been announced as the Mouth Cancer Foundation’s ‘Practice of the Month’ for June. The team has proven they go above and beyond to implement the charity’s Mouth Cancer Screening Accreditation Scheme so were chosen from all dental practices across the UK who have signed up to the charity’s award-winning and life-saving initiative. By joining the scheme the dental practices are placing an onus on their own team to actively prove they are carrying out a thorough head and neck cancer check at routine appointments.

The scheme is a ‘Two minutes to save a life’ screening protocol, which is a 10-point checklist that every dentist should be able to include in their routine examinations, whether they are based at an NHS, private or mixed practice. The charity accredits dental practices that meet the criteria.

Practice Name: The Old Surgery Dental Practice

Practice Address: 31 Hungerford Road, Crewe, Cheshire, CW1 5EQ

Size of Practice: six surgeries

Website Address: www.oldsurgerydental.co.uk 

Mouth Cancer Screening Accreditation Scheme Lead: Lisa Bainham

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.
