Prosthodontics plays a major role in oral health related quality of life, in particular in relation to oral comfort, speech, mastication, aesthetics and perception of well-being

The service will work to a time-limited national Personal Dental Services (PDS) agreement. The service will provide consistent, high-quality care based on the quality assurance principles as set out in the PDS agreement.
