The team at Duncan Smith Dental are very proud to have been awarded membership of the British Dental Association's Good Practice Scheme.

To achieve BDA Good Practice, our team had to demonstrate we have systems and procedures in place to maintain high levels of quality and control. It offers our team a way of telling our patients that we are committed to working to a standard of good practice set by the profession's national association.

In a world where patients are increasingly more discerning, a trusted quality mark is a powerful message. It indicates to our patients that our practice is working to high quality standards.

The following is the list of commitments the practice has undertaken:

1. We aim to provide dental care of consistently good quality for all patients.
2. We only provide care that meets your needs and wishes.
3. We aim to make your treatment as comfortable and convenient as possible.
4. We look after your general health and safety while you are receiving dental care.
5. We follow the British Dental Association’s guidelines on infection control.
6. We check for mouth cancer and tell you what we find.
7. We take part in continuing professional development to keep our skills and knowledge up to date.
8. We train all staff in practice-wide work systems and review training plans once a year.
9. We welcome feedback and deal promptly with any complaints.
10. Every member of the practice is aware of the need to work safely under General Dental Council guidelines.
