Pearl Dental Queensbury is a Private and NHS dental practice that has been established since 1973. The practice was acquired by Narinder Khroud in 2012. When Narinder took over the practice she completed a full refurbishment transforming it into a modern and computerised single surgery practice with a separate decontamination room. In 2017 the practice was further expanded and underwent a second complete refurbishment resulting in a modern and cutting edge two surgery practice. The refurbishment resulted in improved patient access as we were able to offer a wider range of appointments and also disabled access to our newest surgery.
