A new dental practice has opened in Eastleigh following a £2 million investment and merger.

Dentists and staff from Scotter Road and Shakespeare Road practices have moved to a new 10-surgery facility on Market Street.

The move aims to give 15,000 patients access to modern surgeries with a greater range of dental treatments, improved accessibility and parking and more appointment times – NHS and private.

The new practice is run by mydentist - the UK’s largest dentistry provider - and was officially opened on Wednesday September 20 by manager, Katy Mountain.

Steph McCormick, mydentist area development manager, said: “We’ve been working to bring together our practices in Eastleigh for two years, so to see the new practice finally open is fantastic.”

Thirteen jobs have been created including dental nurses, clinicians and receptionists and the practice is accepting new patients via their website under {my}options.

Through {my}options, patients can also access private check-ups, essential dental treatments and cosmetic dental treatments.

Ms McCormick added: “With 10 modern surgeries we can offer far more choice to patients, plus our team are benefitting from improved facilities and rest areas. Our aim was to meet the needs of our patients and our team here in Eastleigh now and in the future, and feedback so far has been extremely positive.

“We know that accessing dental care in this region is difficult which is why we’re pleased to be able to offer {my}options, an affordable way to access a dentist when you need one.”

A full range of dental treatments are on offer at the practice including teeth whitening, teeth straightening, hygiene appointments, smile makeovers, dental implants, endodontics and facial aesthetics. 

mydentist is headquartered in Manchester and has over 550 practices across the country.
