The latest from the Aquae Sulis team
Part of our job is to inform people about their treatment options in a way they can understand. That’s why we decided to include a news section on our website. It’s a place where we can share things we’ve seen on the latest research in medical science and technology, and showcase the experiences of some of our patients as they go through life changing procedures with us.
We’ll also be reporting on any other studies that we think readers might find interesting, anything that ties in with the theme of dental health and wellbeing. Aquae Sulis is a centre of excellence for advanced dentistry, taking referrals in Bath and serving Bristol and the counties of Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset, and we take a particular interest in technological advances that might have implications for our patients.

We welcome questions and suggestions to help keep the content useful and interesting — please contact us with any kind of feedback.
