What's happened to Townley Dental?

I posted a question about Townley Dental earlier today and it was put into the local business section and nobody replied so hopefully it'll stay in main section for a while longer this time. When did Townley Dental become 'Dental Beauty'? I only noticed the new signage today. Does that mean it will no longer be offering NHS services? I've been going there for years and had no clue it was about to change.

I had to go there for an emergency appointment on Friday and it had change ownership last Monday. I don?t know if they still do NHS but they had all my records from years ago. The dentist was lovely and the receptionist Margaret is still there :) I hope that helps somewhat!

Thanks. The staff seem to be the same judging from their new website but 'pricing' doesn't mention NHS at all. It seems they're now offering 'finance'. And 'anti-wrinkle treatments'. I'll have to pop in to ask what the situation is now. Just a bit surprised that they haven't emailed/mailed existing patients.

Townley Dental has been sold by the 2 major owners and have departed. One of those was my dentist so a bit disappointed. Sadly they did not contact the existing patients which is a bit of a shame really and could have been handled better. 6-12 months ago there was only one dentist taking new NHS patients and all the others were private only.


What's in a name? Dental Beauty rather than say Health seems to suggest the general focus ambition and direction of travel one could possibly assume. We shall find out.

    • Hello! We need a few product shots for our new personalised baby bear hooded jumpsuit (pictured).  We'd just need around an hour or so of your (and your baby's!) time.  In return, we'll hand-felt your little one's name onto a jumpsuit to gift you at the end of the shoot as well as provide a £30 thank you payment.

Thanks, Sam    
    • Many thanks for your detailed reply. Our floor was originally concrete too - had the floorboards down for years now and need a change. thanks again
    • Although I think you're right to address your concerns about what you perceive as an attack on your business.  I do feel I need to respond to some of your comments;  I haven’t noticed any criticism in the posts of the clinical care delivered,  all the criticism has been in relation to your charges and billing,  which when compared to other practices does seem high. We know vets are business and don't expect treatment for free! But when prices are significantly higher people are going to question it.  This occurs not only on social media,  but in parks up and down the country as dog owners do discuss this.    I agree your analogy that people can choose where to purchase their veterinary care, a bit like where they choose to purchase their groceries ( convenience store versus sainsburys versus Aldi etc). The big difference is with the supermarket chains there is choice.  Sadly what is happening with veterinary practices is a few massive chains have brought up all the previously independent practices,  therefore there isn't any real choice and these chains are monopolising the industry and forcing up prices to shocking levels ( veterinary prices have risen more than any other industry). I welcome the formal investigation of the CMA into veterinary costs. 
    • Neither of which are Dulwich private schools though. I also wasn't being entirely serious.
