MYDENTIST has opened its doors in Grimsby town centre. The UK’s largest dentistry provider has brought its orthodonti­c practice to Palace Court on Victoria Street.

It will offer essential NHS orthodonti­c care to children referred by their dentist, as well as a wide range of private teeth straighten­ing treatments to teens and adults.

Almost £400,000 has been invested, with eight new jobs created for dental nurses and reception staff.

Practice manager Rachel Evans cut the ribbon to mark the occasion.

She said: “Our team has worked hard to create a vibrant and modern dental practice and it has been great to see the reaction from patients.

“Teeth straighten­ing has never been so popular and we offer a full range of services for people who want to change their smile.”

Treatments available at the new practice include traditiona­l braces as well as invisible, clear aligner teeth straighten­ing treatments such as Invisalign.

It will offer four state-of-the-art surgeries, evening and weekend appointmen­ts.

Michelle Shambrook, director of orthodonti­cs at MyDentist, said: “We are delighted to have won a new NHS orthodonti­c contract enabling us to provide essential orthodonti­c treatment in Grimsby.

“In our new state-of-the-art practice we will be able to offer both NHS treatment to children with a referral from a dentist, as well as a wide range of private orthodonti­c treatment to teens and adults with immediate appointmen­ts available.”

The team said that parents of children waiting for NHS orthodonti­c treatment in the Grimsby area will be contacted directly by the team to arrange appointmen­ts.

A deal was done for the awardwinni­ng regenerate­d former theatre bar in January, after the previous tenant, retailer Bathstore, collapsed in 2019.

MyDentist is part of Manchester-headquarte­red IDH Group.

Our team has worked hard to create a vibrant and modern dental practice and it has been great to see the reaction from patients.
