Hopton Dental Surgery is a fully Private Practice. We have a mixture of patients on maintenance plans and private pay-as-you go. We are situated in the pretty village of Hopton between Diss/Thetford on the Norfolk Suffolk Boarder. We have beautiful modern dental surgery and a fully established patient list with long standing patients.
At Hopton Dental Surgery our aim is to provide patients with a dental care experience that is centred on them and built to suit their needs. What makes us different from other dental practices is our core values and the commitments we live by. We strive to be a well-led, safe, effective and caring practice, which is responsive to patient’s needs.

• Honesty – Seemingly a simple concept has become less than the norm in today’s world. It means the world to us when a patient feels and says, “I trust that you will do what is best for me.” We appreciate your confidence and will continually work to build a mutually trustworthy relationship. We abide by the simple and basic principle of doing what is best for the patient at all times.
• Respect – We will treat ourselves and our patients with dignity and respect, treating everyone the way we would expect to be treated ourselves.
• Compassion – We are fully aware that many patients are not fond of visits to the dental surgery. Our goal is to earn their trust and confidence over time.
• Providing High-Quality Dental Care – We never compromise on the quality of dentistry that we provide our patients. Each patient is treated with respect and given oral health care on a level that we would provide our closest family members. Our dentists and dental care professionals work together as a team to provide high-quality dentistry. We use advanced technology to increase clinical efficiency, improve diagnosis, treatment, and quality of care for our patients.
• Fun – Life is too short not to have fun throughout the day. We hope patients and staff alike will hear laughter in our office. Please know that we are very serious about the quality of dentistry we provide, but also know that we like to have fun while working. We have found over the years that laughter helps provide a more comfortable setting for patients as well as make our work environment a happier place.
• Patient Education – Educating patients is a prime focus for us. We firmly believe that the better educated patients are, the better decisions we can make together regarding their dental care. We are in the business of helping patients achieve optimum dental health.
