Supporting Care Homes with On-Site Dental Care – From Birmingham to Manchester
Oral health is vital for quality of life, especially for elderly residents in care homes. Yet arranging transport for multiple patients to visit a clinic can be stressful and disruptive. Our home visit dental service provides care directly inside care homes, helping residents stay comfortable and healthy without leaving their familiar surroundings.
Why care homes benefit from dental visits
- Reduces the need for hospital or clinic transfers
- Minimises stress and confusion for vulnerable residents
- Improves comfort, chewing ability and overall wellbeing
- Helps prevent medical complications linked to poor oral health
- Supports CQC requirements for resident care
What treatments can be provided in care homes?
- Routine check-ups and oral health assessments
- Denture repairs, relines and replacements
- Fillings and simple extractions where appropriate
- Treatment for infections, pain and urgent problems
- Advice and training for care staff on oral hygiene routines
How a care home visit works

- Consent and paperwork: families or legal guardians are consulted where needed.
- On-site care: portable equipment and PPE ensure safe, hygienic treatment.
