Cosmetic Dentistry
Our cosmetic dentistry services enhance smiles through tooth whitening, veneers, and composite bonding. We use advanced techniques to address discolouration, chips, and misalignment, ensuring natural-looking results. Patients benefit from improved confidence and long-term oral health.
Implants
Dental implants provide permanent solutions for missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. Our specialists conduct thorough assessments to ensure suitability, using high-quality materials for durable, natural-feeling results. Patients enjoy improved chewing ability and facial structure preservation.
Gum Treatments
We offer comprehensive gum treatments for periodontal disease, including deep cleaning and regenerative procedures. Our specialists focus on halting disease progression and preventing tooth loss. Patients receive tailored care to maintain healthy gums and overall oral health.
Root Treatments
Root canal treatments save infected or damaged teeth through precise cleaning and sealing. Our specialists use microscopes for accuracy, ensuring minimal discomfort and high success rates. Patients retain natural teeth, avoiding extraction and further complications.
Invisible Braces
Invisible braces straighten teeth discreetly using clear aligners. We create custom treatment plans for adults and teens, focusing on comfort and aesthetics. Patients achieve aligned smiles without the visibility of traditional metal braces.

I had an appointment at Hitchin Dental Centre for some treatment and received fantastic service from all the team. I was made to feel super comfortable during the treatment and Daniel was superb and incredibly professional. The dental nurse also helped make me feel reassured throughout. Highly recommend.

Had an appointment yesterday for a filling due to a crack tooth, Daniel Chung and his nurse Ellie took great care of me, especially with me having a great fear of going to the dentist. It was a pleasant and stress free visit with amazing work and outcome! Would recommend to anyone 100%.

Report
Following a diagnosis of chronic periodontal disease, I embarked on a treatment plan with Dr Iro Palaska at Hitchen Dental Centre. The necessarily intense and sometimes uncomfortable treatment is made considerably more tolerable by the expert touch and skill of Iro and her team. The positivity of her approach encourages a disciple-like adherence to her instructions for home maintenance, making me feel I'm very much part of the team rather than just the patient. Periodontal treatment is never going to be a fun experience, but Iro gets you through it by being brilliant at it.
