Bupa opens more dental centres in expansion drive

clock

Bupa has opened two new dental centres in Yorkshire as part of its plan to become one of the country's leading dental providers.

The 3SL Dental centre in Sheffield is now a Bupa Dental Centre, while the Bupa Dental Centre in Leeds has been relocated to Waterloo Street.

Research by Bupa had found one in five people in Yorkshire (21%) would go to the dentist more often if it was easier to get an appointment to fit around work.

One in eight people (12%) also said they would go more often if their dentist was in a more convenient location.

Ruth Chesmore, director of dental services at Bupa said the locations were close to where people work and offered appointments outside of office hours, making dental services easy for people to access.

In July 2012 Bupa announced plans to add up to 50 additional private dental centres - mainly in major UK cities - to its existing chain. It currently provides treatment for around 22,000 people in 15 centres across the UK, nine of which are in cities such as London, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield and six of which are corporate on-site centres
