About us
Holsworthy Dental Centre was established in 1974 and has a long standing reputation for providing the full range of dental care for a vast community. The Holsworthy Dental Centre occupies ‘Penroses’ which sits in a prominent position in the town in one of the most attractive, and historic buildings in Holsworthy.
Holsworthy is a busy market town close to the Devon and Cornish coast. We have good links to the large cities of Exeter and Plymouth and the motorway and national rail system are easily accessed. We played a part in establishing the Peninsula Dental School which is based in Plymouth.
We keep fully up to date with current standards and best practice. There is a central decontamination facility; staffed by a dedicated decontamination assistant and designed to comply with the latest Department of Health cross infection control guidelines. We have recently appointed one of our registered dental nurses to the post of Cross Infection Control Lead Nurse with the task of ensuring all aspects of the process run smoothly throughout the practice. The practice has two qualified and experienced Oral Health Educators.
The practice is fully digital and fully computerised. We have a state of the art digital OPG machine which produces 300 multi layer images per second during a single panoramic exposure by means of a retro emitted electron beam created by X ray bombardment of cadmium telluride screens. The technology was developed at the European Atomic Physics Facility at Cerne in Switzerland and this practice was the first dental practice in the UK to install an OPG machine using this technology. Other local practices refer their patients to us to benefit from this imaging facility.
