New £1.4m dentist to open at The Killingworth Centre, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

A new dentist practice is opening at The Killingworth Centre, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, after signing up for a unit.

{my}dentist has signed a 15-year lease for units 20 and 21 with national commercial property and investment company LCP, which manages the centre on behalf of Evolve Estates.

The practice has invested £1.4 million in the new unit, which includes all new dentistry equipment, surgeries and staff room, and created a further 10 jobs for dental nurses and receptionists.

The move takes the number of surgeries from seven at the previous location to 10, with further space to grow the practice in future.

Patients will benefit from a greater range of appointments and longer opening hours, including Saturday appointments, improved access with all surgeries located on the ground floor, and improved new waiting areas.

Andrew Barrett, retail director at LCP, said: “We’re pleased to welcome {my}dentist to the scheme as it increases the offer we have at this busy centre, not to mention provides jobs for local people.”

Paul Mead, {my}dentist area development manager, said: “Our aim for the new practice was to provide our patients and teams with a modern and accessible practice that meets their needs now and in the future.

“With 10 surgeries we will have more appointments for our existing patients and beyond this, we know that accessing dental care in this region is difficult which is why we have introduced {my}options, an affordable way to access a dentist when you need one.”

It opens on Monday, February 21.
