Dentist’s surgery to open in Chorley.
A new emergency and cosmetic dentistry office is to open in Chorley.
Local newspaper the Chorley People reported the practice will offer places to up to 7,000 patients and the new Ravat & Ray Dental Care office will have three surgeries.
“It is anticipated that these services will make a huge difference to the oral health of local residents by increasing access to NHS dentistry,” Janice Nicholson, head of dental commissioning in the region, told the publication.
She added that this new practice will significantly boost access to dental services in the region and will mean people will have shorter waiting times to receive treatments.
Elsewhere, the Brundall Dental Practice is set to open in Norfolk to offer places for dental patients that wouldotherwise have had to wait for treatments.
This is thanks to a £2.8 million investment in dental care services in the region that was made last year.
