Associate dentist in private practice in York

Maxine Flynn has owned Acorn Dental Practice since 1998 initially an NHS practice but converted it to all Private in 2004. The ethos of the practice is to provide high quality care starting from the gums up. Patients being encouraged to join a care plan that suits their individual needs. Different plans are provided to patients who need different levels of gum treatments. This has led to virtually all patients being part of the practice's DPAS plans., most of the care being provided by our hygienist and dental therapist. This has lead to more regular attendance of patients and a great improvement in their dental health , enabling more complex treatments to be done.

The practice provides near 100% aesthetic restorations, the practice is amalgam free. Most endodontic treatments are done in house, referrals to local endodontists only for very complex cases. One of the associates has a masters in oral surgery , providing extraction of wisdom teeth and other surgical treatment , accepting referrals from within and outside of the practice.

The surgeries have high quality dental equipment, mainly Adec and we have a Primescan Digital scanner that is used for all labwork except some dentures , including Aligner therapy.

 The Dental therapist also does simple cons treatment under the prescription of the dentist, providing further income to the clinician and allowing us to charge the patient less. We also have a visiting Clinical Dental Technician who works on his own patients but is happy to do work that the dentists would rather not.

The practice has a great team of experienced staff, they work in a team to provide an pleasant , efficient environment for patients and dentists. We are known in the community as being a caring , friendly practice that provides painless , quality dentistry. 

The practice is modern, well maintained and has a Decontamination suite with dirty and clean sides as per Gold standard regulations.
