About Dental Health Matters

Dental Health Matters provides independent dentistry for patients in Londonderry and across the North West, welcoming people from Derry/Londonderry, Donegal, Omagh, Letterkenny, Limavady, Strabane and Dungiven. The practice aims to keep visits comfortable and relaxing, offering treatment in the way the team would want for their own families, with NHS/private mix not specified in the available text. Care is described as honest, ethical and realistic, with transparent costs and a focus on preventive treatment to help minimise the need for newly decayed teeth or failing treatment. Patients can expect thorough dental health checks, including routine examinations of teeth and gums and mouth cancer screening, alongside cosmetic options such as teeth whitening, veneers and white fillings. The treatment list also includes bridges, crowns, adult braces, children’s braces and emergency care. A dentist is named as Robert Millar (BDS QUB, DPDS, DipOrth, PGCE med), and the practice notes that in emergencies patients should telephone for weekend on-call direction.
