Dr Catherine McAvoy is sadly leaving the practice this month. She is going to be working as an orthodontist in Truro and we wish her luck in this dental specialty.

If you were a regular patient of Cat’s you will not lose your NHS place at St Agnes Dental Practice. You will see a different dentist at your next visit, and we will let you know who it will be when your appointment is booked. Your dental records will remain safely stored with us, but should you choose to see a different dental practice please let us know so that we may be able to offer your place to someone else.
