Are you unhappy with your smile or those annoying little lines and wrinkles that can often age us?, be reassured that there is usually a solution.
Nick Mathias of Haven Spa and Therapy spent much of last month developing working relationships with other like minded local businesses and we are delighted to report that they have teamed up with ourselves and the Hair Advice Centre, both well known for expertise, professionalism and outstanding customer service.
In both cases we sought each other out as we realised that our businesses could benefit and complement each other. Absolute Dental are therefore delighted to announce that Dr. Rhodri John, principal dentist,
will be providing non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments at The Haven from early January, these treatments will still also be available at Absolute Dental.

To launch the new treatments we would like to invite you to an Open Evening at The Haven on Tuesday 18th January 2011 at 6pm where Dr. John will give a talk and demonstration of the procedures he will be offering. Following the talk he will be available for short consultations for anyone wishing to discuss their requirements in private. Come and join us for a glass of wine and a very informative talk and demonstration.
Please RSVP to

It's been 2 weeks since this country girl has returned from her adventure in the "Big Smoke" as an examiner for the National Certificate for Dental Nurses. My trip to London was interesting in so many ways. It was great to meet other dental professionals who are all involved in the training of dental nurses, these people are all passionate about their role in training, and I got a real sense that in coming together for the National Certificate we were all hoping to have successful encounters with the students which would in turn make us feel successful in our role as trainers.Despite not having as many successful encounters with the candidates as I had originally hoped at my particular examination centre, I still found the experience worthwhile. Most importantly I realised the importance of gaining feedback from my students after they have sat their exam - asking them "Did we prepare you enough for your exam?". It's a question that leaves us vulnerable to criticism - but I would rather know where our students felt the course was lacking. This is the same for our patients at Absolute Dental – we value their feedback and want to know where they feel our strengths and weaknesses lie, and encourage them to write about their experience at Absolute. We want our practice and our training programmes to be first class, and we will take advantage of all experiences and feedback available to us to ensure that it is.

Being a part of the Absolute Dental team is a privilege and something I am very proud of.
Having recently moved to the area from Bristol I am very grateful for this wonderful opportunity.
Life has been very hectic since I started with lots of new people to meet and lots to learn but I am really enjoying the challenge.

The Team here at Absolute are a pleasure to work with and have done so much to help me settle in. I hope to be part of the team for many years to come.
