Additional Support

If you have any special needs or are particularly anxious please tell us when you make your first appointment and we will do our best to help. 

Elderly/ disabled

The Practice has level access with DDA compliant door-ways, a universally accessible toilet, two ground floor surgeries, disabled car parking, excellent internal and external signage, colour contrasting in place, an induction loop system at reception and we are familiar with Text Relay.  We also provide home visits for patients who are very sick or disabled.  We have all been trained by Disability Action and will do our best to support patients with their requirements.

Autism awareness

We have all been trained by Autism NI and will do our best to support patients with Autism during their visit to see the dentist.  We can turn off the music in surgery and provide dark glasses whilst in the dental chair.  Quieter appointment times would normally be in the morning.  We have in place a picture story of Your Visit to Dunmurry Dental Practice  and also a Social Story that can be viewed here to help in advance of coming to your appointment.

Smoking Cessation Clinic

We have in place for all our patients a Smoking Cessation Clinic, run by Cancer Focus NI to help those who would like to give up smoking.  Clients who come to this service are provided with motivational and behavioural support to quit smoking. Once they are ready to quit smoking, they are then provided with Nicotine Replacement Therapy (patches, gum etc) on site, or a prescription request is sent to their GP for other pharmacotherapy options.    This is a free service open to all.
