Services
Dental implants
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, using titanium screws fused with the jawbone to support crowns or bridges. Ideal for restoring function and aesthetics, this treatment requires surgical placement followed by osseointegration. Patients benefit from natural-looking results that enhance chewing ability and confidence, with long-term success dependent on oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
Teeth whitening
Professional teeth whitening addresses discolouration through safe, effective bleaching techniques. Custom trays or in-chair treatments deliver noticeable results in one session, improving smiles for special occasions or daily confidence. Maintenance is key, with touch-ups recommended to sustain brightness, and the procedure is often combined with veneers or crowns for comprehensive smile makeovers.
Veneers
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to teeth for shape, colour, or alignment corrections. This minimally invasive procedure transforms smiles in two visits, offering durability and stain resistance. Ideal for chipped, gapped, or misshapen teeth, veneers require minimal enamel removal and provide a natural, long-lasting aesthetic solution.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign and traditional braces, correct misaligned teeth for improved function and appearance. Clear aligners offer discreet, removable options for adults, while fixed appliances address complex cases. Treatment duration varies but typically spans 12-24 months, with results enhancing bite stability and oral health.
Periodontal care
Periodontal care manages gum disease through deep cleaning, scaling, and root planing to prevent tooth loss. Advanced cases may require surgical interventions, with a focus on halting bone deterioration. Regular maintenance is crucial, emphasizing hygiene education and early intervention to preserve oral health and systemic well-being.

Ian is a fantastic Dentist. I am usually a nervous wreck going to Dentist but I feel so at ease at Stonerock. All the staff are lovely. My teeth are beginning to look so much nicer. I am very happy indeed. Thank You Ian.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this surgery and I bless the day I plucked up the courage to contact Russell. Absolutely brilliant in everything they do. Fantastic customer service and bedside manner, extremely approachable. Russell is nothing short of a miracle maker, he managed to achieve results I never dreamt possible, I no longer hide my smile. Ian is fantastic at root canal problems and cured a problem that I had off and on after a dodgy root canal over thirty years ago. Jess the hygienist is just so lovely and the reception staff are ultra friendly. I really can't say enough to stress just how good they are so you'll have to find out for yourself

This is a fantastic dental practice, highly recommended. I honestly could not rate them any higher. I have been a patient with them for a couple of years now, and they are brilliant. So much so that I recently moved away from the area but I still don't mind driving back (over an hour each way) to continue being a patient with StoneRock Dental Care. They are extremely good at what they do.

I hate visits to the dentist, there is no way around it. All my life I've had problems with my teeth and gums and have paid a fortune having procedure after procedure which only served to relieve the symptoms but never eradicate the cause. One slightly humiliating assessment and consultation later and I just wish I had found Dr Kerr earlier. My teeth and mouth feel amazing and all he did was to show me how to brush my teeth properly.
Do not scorn, you'd be surprised how time consuming it is, but absolutely worth it! I now have a treatment plan that I feel confident with and whilst as kind, professional and reassuring as he is, I will never be happy going to the dentist, I can honestly say I am looking forward to the results. I actually trust this Dentist, I never thought I could say that!

At 56 years of age, I have been to many dentists in my life. I hated the whole experience. But Ian and Russell have shown me through their compassionate and skilful care that dentists are not to be feared.more than that, I willingly make the next appointment and don't wait until I HAVE to go. I used to dread the hygienists more than dentists, but my experience here has shown that they too, can be gentle and caring.
