Services
General dentistry
Our comprehensive general dentistry covers examinations, preventive care, and restorative treatments. We provide fillings, extractions, and oral health assessments using modern diagnostic tools. Patients benefit from continuity of care with our experienced dentists who focus on maintaining long-term oral health.
Dental implants
We offer permanent tooth replacement solutions using Nobel Biocare/Brnemark implant systems. Our implantologists restore missing teeth with natural-looking replacements that improve function and aesthetics. The treatment includes bone assessment and customised implant placement plans for optimal results.
Cosmetic dentistry
Our cosmetic treatments include tooth whitening, veneers, and invisible braces. These procedures address discolouration, misalignment, and shape irregularities to create aesthetically pleasing smiles while maintaining dental health and function.
Root canal treatment
Specialist root canal treatments preserve damaged teeth using advanced techniques. Our dentists remove infected pulp, clean root canals, and seal teeth to prevent reinfection. This procedure saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction.
Children's dentistry
We provide child-friendly dental care focusing on preventive treatments and early intervention. Our approach includes routine check-ups, fluoride applications, and education on proper oral hygiene to establish lifelong dental health habits.

Report
My daughter was seen at Brecknock Dental for emergency dental treatment by Dr Evie and Nurse Kayla and received an excellent level of care in their hands. They were incredibly professional - kind and gentle with my daughter (who arrived at the practice in a very distressed state) and were promptly able to pinpoint the issue & offer a treatment plan for her. I'd like to offer a HUGE thank you to Dr. Evie, Nurse Kayla and all the staff at Brecknock Dental, you guys are amazing!

Report
Dr Charlotte was kind and absolutely fantastic. Safe to say she has restored my faith in dentists. Everything was explained to me very clearly, I was given a briefing before each appointment which I really appreciated, and my treatment happened over the course of two weeks which was perfect. I also really liked that I was able to book the appointment directly with the dentist straight after my treatments as opposed to queueing up downstairs at reception.
She also remembered that I had a job interview and asked me how it went which was so nice! Highly recommend! I would give five out of five stars but treatment is a little costly but the service really makes up for it!

I have only been to this dentist once as I was booked in by 111 emergency dentist however from my experience I really recommend this dentist. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by a lovely reception team. I was 15 minutes early and I was seen straight away. The dentist who actually dealt with my teeth was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't catch her name. She fixed the issue straight away without any pain or discomfort. She made sure I was settled and comfortable before she started any treatment. Highly recommend this dentist! :

I have been using Brecknock Dental for many years. In more recent years I have been a patient of Charlotte and her nurse Komal. I can not recommend them enough. Charlotte is very thorough, knowledgeable and extremely honest. She always talks me through every step of my treatment plan and advise is always of the highest quality. I'm made to feel very welcome and comfortable at every visit! Thank you
