A HIGHBRIDGE dental practice is set to close its doors amid recruitment troubles and increased running costs.

Mydentist confirmed its Market Street practice will close at the end of the month.

The practice said patients have been contacted by letter to inform them of the closure.

A spokesman for mydentist, said: “The decision to close the practice on September 30 has not been taken lightly.

"But increased running costs and difficulty recruiting dentists mean it is not sustainable to keep the practice open.

"NHS patients can transfer to mydentist practices in Bridgwater, Street or Weston-Super-Mare.

"Registered patients with open courses of treatment will have their dental care completed or appropriately referred before 30 September.

"All patients have been informed of the closure and we have provided details on finding an alternative dental practice.”
