Employer information

Rock House Dental Practice has been around a very long time! 

It has changed a great deal over the years but has always been centred on providing dental excellence for patients. The practice is well known in Wolverhampton and the surrounding areas.

We believe in life-long continuing professional development to ensure that we always deliver the best services we can.
