Following government guidance, Congleton Dental Centre is currently closed. From 8th June 2020 the practice will partially reopen. Initially, we will be able to provide a limited number of face to face appointments for the treatment of severe pain. The range of treatments available will be very limited (e.g. extractions). Further information is available here.
Telephone Triage Service
Our dentists are operating a triage service for patients experiencing dental problems. Following discussion with a dentist, you may be asked to send a photo to help with the triage process.
A dentist can be contacted during normal surgery hours on 07955 589 040.
The dentist will be able to offer advice over the phone – we are not able to see any patients face-to-face at the present time, according to government guidance. If you have an urgent dental problem, you may be offered a referral to an Urgent Dental Clinic – please note that this service only provides extractions to patients meeting strict criteria. No other treatments are available.
