About
Webheath Dental Practice
In 2006 the practice was opened by Thegan Moodley, who along with his nurse Pam Bevan transformed a residential house into the practice. The practice is still family owned and now has multiple surgeries so we can provide dental care to the residents and families of Webheath, and beyond.
When Webheath opened it was nominated for ‘Best New Dental Practice’ at the Dentistry awards. For the past 12 consecutive years it has been a member of BDA good practice. It has also been a Foundation Dentist training practice for that time and it has close connections with the West Midlands Deanery.
