New orthodontic provider for residents of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire/Darparwr orthodonteg newydd i drigolion Sir Gaerfyrddin, Ceredigion a Sir Benfro

Hywel Dda University Health Board will be contacting patients to make them aware that those requiring orthodontic services will receive their treatment through a new provider from April 1 2020.

The health board’s current provider of orthodontic services, The Orthodontic Centre in Carmarthen, will no longer be providing these NHS services after March 31 2020. However, the health board has secured orthodontic services with three new orthodontic practices in Pembroke Dock, Carmarthen and Swansea.

These new contracts provide the opportunity for better access to orthodontic services for patients across Hywel Dda.

Patients requiring this specialist service will be designated to the practice closest to their home.

The practices are:

Quayside Orthodontics – Pembroke Dock

Quayside Orthodontics – Carmarthen

Neat Teeth – Swansea

We wish to reassure patients that the health board has a responsibility to ensure that any patient who is currently undergoing treatment will continue to receive orthodontic care in one of the three practices.

The health board will be contacting all patients in writing who are currently receiving care with The Orthodontic Centre to discuss the transfer of their care.

Jill Paterson, Director of Primary Care, Community and Long-term Care for Hywel Dda University Health Board: “The provision of orthodontic services in three locations for Hywel Dda residents allows for better access to services for patients closer to their homes.

“In addition to this the health board has invested additional funding to improve waiting times.”

If any patients are concerned, please contact 01267 229696 to leave a voicemail and this will be responded to by a member of the Dental Services Team.

Bydd Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda yn cysylltu â chleifion i’w gwneud yn ymwybodol y bydd y rhai sydd angen gwasanaethau orthodonteg yn derbyn eu triniaeth trwy ddarparwr newydd o Ebrill 1 2020.

Ni fydd darparwr gwasanaethau orthodonteg presennol y bwrdd iechyd, Y Ganolfan Orthodonteg yng Nghaerfyrddin, bellach yn darparu’r gwasanaethau GIG hyn ar ôl Mawrth 31 2020. Fodd bynnag, mae’r bwrdd iechyd wedi sicrhau gwasanaethau orthodonteg gyda thair practis orthodonteg newydd yn Noc Penfro, Caerfyrddin ac Abertawe.

Mae’r contractau newydd hyn yn rhoi cyfle i gael gwell mynediad at wasanaethau orthodonteg i gleifion ledled Hywel Dda.

Bydd cleifion sydd angen y gwasanaeth arbenigol hwn yn cael eu dynodi i’r practis agosaf at eu cartref.

Yr Clinigau yw:

Quayside Orthodontics – Doc Penfro

Quayside Orthodontics – Caerfyrddin

Neat Teeth – Abertawe

Hoffem sicrhau cleifion bod gan y bwrdd iechyd gyfrifoldeb i wneud yn siwr y bydd unrhyw glaf sy’n cael triniaeth ar hyn o bryd yn parhau i dderbyn gofal orthodonteg yn un o’r tair practis.

Bydd y bwrdd iechyd yn cysylltu â phob claf yn ysgrifenedig sydd ar hyn o bryd yn derbyn gofal gyda’r Ganolfan Orthodonteg i drafod trosglwyddo eu gofal.

Jill Paterson, Cyfarwyddwr Gofal Sylfaenol, Cymuned a Gofal Hirdymor ar gyfer Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Hywel Dda: “Mae darparu gwasanaethau orthodonteg mewn tri lleoliad ar gyfer preswylwyr Hywel Dda yn caniatáu gwell mynediad i wasanaethau i gleifion sy’n agosach at eu cartrefi.

“Yn ogystal â hyn mae’r bwrdd iechyd wedi buddsoddi cyllid ychwanegol i wella amseroedd aros.”

Os oes unrhyw gleifion yn bryderus, cysylltwch â 01267 229696 i adael neges peiriant ateb a bydd aelod o’r Tîm Gwasanaethau Deintyddol yn ymateb i hyn.
