Both methods of attending the practice are most welcome
If you are an existing patient, simply ring the receptionist to make an appointment on 01580 713254
Many of Dr. Westerman’s patients have been with him since he took over the practice in 1988, and their families and their family’s family…
I have been a patient for 20 years and always received the highest level of consideration and dental care. I have moved house twice in that time but not dentist.

Paul Westerman has been my family dentist for over 15 years, providing a friendly yet professional service which inspires confidence. He listens to patients’ concerns and explains clearly what needs to be done, but never pressurises. As a child I was terrified of going to the dentist, but with Paul, my daughters have never had any fears, and thanks to his care, their dental health is excellent.
Ruth Mead
My experience of using Tanyard dental practise has been very positive. When I first visited the surgery I was extremely nervous, but in Dr Westermans very capable hands and sympathetic treatment i soon overcame any anxiety. Having injections are no problem and I am totally relaxed knowing I am in safe hands. About 4 years ago I had problems with what I thought was a broken tooth. Dr Westerman knew straight away something was wrong and he wrote a letter there and then for me to see a specialist. The prognosis was cancer of the tongue. Thanks to his prompt action I am still here today and I have the 'all clear'. I am eternally grateful for the kindness of Dr Westerman and his staff have shown me and I hope to continue to use the surgery for many years to come.
