Services
General Dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry covers check-ups, fillings, extractions, and oral cancer screenings. We focus on preventive care to maintain dental health and address issues early. Patients receive tailored advice on home care routines and dietary habits affecting oral health.
Dental Implants
We restore missing teeth with durable dental implants that mimic natural tooth function and appearance. The procedure involves surgical placement of titanium posts followed by custom crowns. Our dentists ensure proper integration with jawbone for long-term stability and aesthetics.
Teeth Straightening
Modern teeth straightening options include clear aligners for discreet correction of misaligned teeth. We create custom treatment plans to improve bite function and enhance smiles. Treatment duration varies based on individual alignment requirements and patient compliance.
Children's Dentistry
We specialise in making dental visits positive experiences for children from age 2 onwards. Services include check-ups, fissure sealants, and trauma management. Our team uses child-friendly communication to establish lifelong oral hygiene habits.
Aesthetic Dentistry
Enhance your smile with teeth whitening, composite bonding, and porcelain veneers. We address discolouration, chips, and gaps to create natural-looking results. Treatments combine technical precision with artistic skill for harmonious facial aesthetics.

I have been going to Linden Dental Surgery for many years now, and Sally and her team have always been very welcoming and professional. There is a real family feel to the practice. On my recent visit, I was very impressed with the safety measures being carried out re Covid-19.

Linden is a jewel of a dental surgery. I've had a few of the surgeons work on my teeth over the years all absolutely brilliant.but the one I use the most is Johnny a young man who is excellent beyond his years, he does myself and my family, not only is he our dentist but a friend too.and what with the reception staff I don't see how there could be a better dentist Anywhere!.
