Maine Dental Practice

About

Maine Dental Practice serves patients in Cullybackey and Ballymena, offering both NHS and private dental treatments. The practice’s range includes tooth whitening, cosmetic crowns, bridges, veneers and chrome dentures, as well as emergency treatments. Following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, the practice states it will be able to see and treat patients who require an AGP (aerosol generating procedure) from 20th July. Even with this change, the team notes they must continue working under tight restrictions, including specific “down time” between each AGP, which may reduce the number of patients seen daily and mean dentists work on a rota basis. Because of a significant backlog, routine check-up appointments are not being booked at present. Priority will be given to patients who started treatment before COVID-19 but had appointments cancelled during lockdown, and to patients who were seen as emergencies during that period, with staff aiming to contact priority patients in the coming weeks. Dental Surgeon Mark Connaughty highlights a focus on excellent care in a friendly and relaxing environment.
