Every member is highly valued and this fusion of knowledge and experience rightly inspires confidence in their ability to fully meet the exciting challenges and expectations of 21st century dentistry.
“Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful…”
What makes Comberton Surgery different?
The practice was established in March 1992 in this beautiful Victorian house as a preventative dental unit to help service the needs of Kidderminster and its surrounding areas. A warm and friendly welcome with comfortable waiting areas and four modern, surgeries operating with the latest high tech systems and equipment. Ample car parking and disabled access make for a stress free visit.
Highly qualified staff are helpful and caring which we feel are the most important ingredients for a successful practice. We pursue, train and retain carefully selected staff ensuring you are made to feel welcome and treated to the highest clinical standards from a progressive-patient focused practice. We adopt (as standard) best business practice techniques and patients care programs in order to execute our goals.
We have a policy of re-investment ensuring any profits benefit the practice first including staff training developing innovative systems and techniques building a solid future for us and our patients.
Our Aims
We encourage and promote dental education from a young age resulting in good oral health preparing them to enter adulthood with a positive attitude and healthy smile.
Our goal is to ensure all our patients are treated in a friendly, caring and supportive atmosphere, safe in the knowledge that they can leave our practice with a healthy, go anywhere smile allowing them to lead happy and confident lives.
