Dear valued patient,

Thank you for trusting our team with your oral health across the years, it has been a pleasure to look after your dental care.

We are writing to let you know of some important changes that will be made within your practice.

Due to the ongoing challenges that NHS dental practices in England are faced with, last year, we made the decision to stop providing NHS dental services to our patients as we no longer could offer high-quality care and access under the NHS contractual obligations. We will now not be providing NHS services from 1st May 2025.

Although you do not use our NHS dental services and are a private patient of ours, we thought we should still communicate this change to you.

How does this change affect you?

Our number one goal is to provide our patients with the high-quality dental care and guaranteed access that they deserve, which is why we are now transitioning to a membership model only.

This means that patients who wish to use our dental services will need to join one of our membership plans. As you currently are not part of our membership plans, this change will affect you.

What do you need to do to become a member?

You can also call our Patient Membership Advisors directly at 0191 489 7451 or simply visit us in practice to become a member.

What happens if we do not hear from you?

If we don’t hear back from you, we regretfully will need to remove your details from our system, making way for other patients who wish to join. This is not an outcome we desire, but with limited membership spaces remaining, we need to ensure those genuinely interested can secure their spot.

We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible care and hope you will join our Westmount family on this exciting new chapter.

Warm regards, Westmount Dental
