Parking is NOT available in the DN22 car park when the dental practice is open. Their car park is very small and is specifically for their staff and disabled clients. There is plenty of free parking directly outside the building and there are several public pay and display car parks within a few minutes walk of the clinic.
Elderly or Disabled Clients: If you have a blue badge you can park in the dentist’s car park if the disabled space is available, however please be aware that if your appointment clashes with the dentist’s lunch hour, staff change-over, or their finish times, you may have to move your car for a few minutes during your treatment session if it is blocking in any cars that need to leave the car park. The dental practice has allocated an area in their car park as a “drop off zone”. This means that your driver can park for a few minutes and escort you to the building (all wheelchair accessible), before returning to their car to park in one of the above recommended locations.
Yes, please feel free to bring someone with you to any 1:1 session.
