Dental facility opening

The new building is named The Pat Gifford DFC Building in memory of the Spitfire pilot who shot down the first enemy bomber of World War two over the Forth close to Prestonpans. It is the brain child of practice partners Chris Price and Charlie Crummey and Aberdeen based health centre developers Medical Centres Scotland.

Charlie comments “Scotland leads the way on the provision of NHS dentistry but premises are often down at heal, cramped and unable to meet the latest standards of hygiene and access. I believe that the development at Prestonpans signals a whole new approach to how dentists will provide the latest and best services to patients in the foreseeable future. Larger state of the art premises mean that dentists can come together to share the cost and the benefits of better facilities. Patient care is improved, staff are able to fulfil their roles in bright airy premises and draw on in house laboratories and the latest facilities in infection control”
