Why Rochdale patients choose us for dental check-ups
Rochdale has plenty of dental practices, yet many Rochdale families make the short trip up the valley to us. Our dentists have deep roots in the borough: Dr Khalid Mushtaq has lived in Rochdale all his life and chairs the Bury & Rochdale Local Dental Committee, and two of our dentists oversee the out-of-hours emergency dental care for the area.
We provide both NHS and private dental care. At each check-up your dentist examines your teeth, gums, tongue and soft tissues, checks old fillings and crowns, and takes X-rays when they are needed. Everything is explained in plain English, and you will always be told about your options and their costs before anything happens.
Our dentists keep up to date with the latest developments in dentistry, and other dentists in the area refer their difficult or specialist cases to us. That experience is there for every patient, from a first check-up to complex restorative work.
