The Blockley Partnership is a long established practice located in the centre of Tunbridge Wells. It has been situated on Mount Ephraim since 1936 and is an ideal mix of the old and new. The building is a beautiful Georgian house with convenient off-road parking, and contains modern dental surgeries that allow for the provision of high quality dental care in a pleasing environment. If you are a new patient, we would like to take this opportunity of welcoming you to our practice.
In the event of a dental trauma please contact the emergency number for advice from one of our dentists. Please also look at this website for immediate palliative advice: www.Dentaltrauma.co.uk
At the Blockley Partnership our main approach to dental care is prevention. Whilst long term control of dental disease is ultimately the patient’s responsibility, we hope that with our help patients can keep their teeth for life.
At your first visit our Practice Manager will help you complete a form which covers some basic details, including a medical and dental history. Please remember to bring details of any medication you are currently taking (a copy of your prescription) and your yellow book, if appropriate. Your dentist will then conduct an initial consultation which is often supplemented with digital dental X-rays. This helps to determine how healthy your mouth is.
We do our best to carry out dentistry to the highest standard. Therefore we offer the Blockley Partnership Guarantee which is unique to the Blockley Partnership and means that in the unlikely event of a permanent filling failing within the first year, we will replace it free of charge or refund your money without question. We take great pride in our dentistry and also want to make your visits as pleasant as possible.

The UK government has announced a further national lockdown starting Tuesday 5th January until mid February 2021. Under the terms of the new lockdown rules, patients are still permitted to travel to access medical care. The practice will therefore remain OPEN AS NORMAL and all scheduled appointments remain in place unless you hear from us otherwise.
The dental emergencies and outstanding treatment that built up during the first lockdown have now been dealt with. Our priority will be to avoid such a build up occurring again including addressing any non-urgent dental problems as well. Routine check ups may need to be rescheduled in order to facilitate this. We will be in contact only if this is necessary.
When you do attend our practice you will see that things are different. We have invested heavily in installing each surgery with a specialist air purifying system proven to kill the virus. Procedures and protocols have been put in place to allow for social distancing within the practice and we now have all the appropriate PPE in place. This is all to ensure that patients and staff can attend our practice in the safe knowledge that everything possible has been done to protect them against the corona virus.
If you do have a dental concern please call the practice between 8am and 5pm so that we can help you in any way that we can.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding in these continually trying times. We look forward to seeing you all again in the near future.
