Elms Lea Dental Practice

College Hospital, London, Dental School in 1982 and took over the long established practice at 32 Brunswick Place in 1985.There was steady growth of the practice and rapid changes in dental care. These, and problems with access and parking at the old regency terrace necessitated a move to a building better suited to the provision of modern dentistry. In 2001 the right premises were found allowing us to create Elms Lea Dental Practice. Well situated with easy access by foot, cycle, car, bus and train, and with its own car park, the building is ideally suited to the provision of modern, high quality dental care. The practice team includes many longstanding members, all of whom look forward to welcoming you.
