RESIDENTS in a Powys town are bound to have wide smiles on their faces after the local health board announced a dental surgery has new owners.
Powys Teaching Health Board said it is delighted to announce a new contract for the provision of NHS dental services in Brecon following the takeover of the former MyDentist surgery in the town.
The new owner is in the process of recruiting a new team with the intention of offering NHS service provision once they have a full team.
In the interim the provider will be offering urgent dental care and prioritised dental treatment. Brecon residents are urged to be patient during this interim period and accept apologies that the new owners are not yet in a position to offer general dental services at this practice.
