Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions that look and function naturally. Our specialists use advanced techniques to place titanium posts that fuse with jawbone tissue, creating stable foundations for crowns or bridges. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, facial structure preservation, and long-term durability exceeding 25 years with proper care. We offer comprehensive implant consultations and follow-up maintenance programs.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners offer discreet teeth straightening through custom-made removable trays. Our specialist orthodontist Avani Patel creates treatment plans using 3D imaging technology to gradually reposition teeth over 12-18 months. Benefits include improved oral hygiene access, no dietary restrictions, and virtually invisible correction of crowding, gaps, and bite issues. We provide full treatment monitoring and replacement aligner provision.
Dental Hygiene
Our hygiene program includes professional cleaning, gum disease prevention, and personalized oral care education. Experienced hygienists Rachel Lister and Regina Vicinas perform deep scaling, air-polishing, and stain removal while teaching effective home maintenance techniques. We offer tailored advice on diet impacts, interdental cleaning, and halitosis management through 40-minute direct access appointments focused on long-term periodontal health.
Emergency Dentistry
Same-day emergency dental treatment addresses acute pain, trauma, and dental infections. Available Monday-Friday until 6pm with out-of-hours service weekends and holidays, our experienced team handles broken teeth, lost fillings, abscesses, and dental injuries. Emergency consultations include diagnostic assessment, pain management, and immediate treatment planning with priority access for registered patients.
Porcelain Veneers
Custom-crafted porcelain veneers transform smiles by correcting discolouration, chips, and misshapen teeth. This minimally invasive procedure involves bonding ultra-thin ceramic shells to tooth surfaces for natural-looking aesthetic improvement. Our dentists create harmonious smile designs while preserving maximum tooth structure, with results lasting 10-15 years through proper maintenance and bite adjustment.

Have been going to this dentist for years. for a reason! Started off completely terrified and gradually have come to trust that they are experts and professionals and it will be OK. Friendly too!

Report
I've been going to Portner Pittack since I was very young and Jonathan Portner was my dentist for many years. Jonathan has since retired, and employed the lovely Tajel Patel in his stead. I've just finished a whitening treatment plan with her and the results truly exceeded my expectations, to say that I'm happy is an understatement. Jonathan truly could not have found a better dentist, she truly cares about her patients and is an overall lovely and experienced person

P &P have been our dentist for many years and I can highly recommend them. Very friendly and professional team, 1st class. My partner is nervous about medical procedures, injections etc. but they always put him at ease.

Rob has been looking after my teeth for a number of years. He is the best dentist I have ever had. Is sensible about interventions and doesn't propose unnecessary things. He is always very kind and good humoured: I am not scared of going to the dentist! The whole support team and nursing team are outstanding. It is a really very well run operation indeed.
