There are five dentists who practice at Avenue Dental. We have chosen to work together under the auspices of the principal dentist, practice owner Dr Ian Crump, because of the shared practice philosophy outlined on our ‘Home Page’ and detailed in the content of this web site. We feel our patients interests are best served by having one dentist in overall charge of their treatment, and this will usually be the dentist who carries out your initial examination. If for any reason you wish to change dentist that is not a problem. In the event your usual dentist is away, the advantage of a multiple practice is that a colleague is available to look after your emergency situation. It is often the case that we will consult with each other in regard to your treatment. It is nice to know that when you are considering which practice to put your trust in, at Avenue Dental, you have a combined 65 years of dental experience to draw on.
