Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer comprehensive cosmetic dental treatments including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and Invisalign braces. Our specialists create tailored smile transformation plans using advanced techniques. Patients benefit from improved confidence through aesthetically pleasing, natural-looking results while maintaining optimal oral health.
Dental Implants
Our implantology specialists provide single and multiple tooth replacement solutions with titanium implants. The treatment restores full functionality and appearance of missing teeth. We use 3D imaging technology for precise placement and offer bone augmentation procedures when necessary for long-term success.

We specialise in creating positive dental experiences for children. Our approach includes preventive care, early orthodontic assessments, and treatment of dental injuries. The team uses child-friendly communication techniques to build lifelong oral health habits in a welcoming environment.

Wow! I had great customer service over the phone today (16.05 4.40pm). The receptionist was pleasant, helpful and patient! A credit to the team and a vast improvement of previous calls I've had to arrange a simple dental appointment.

Report
Standard of care is negligently low especially to NHS patients. I had two big holes in my back teeth on both sides. It's so big that i could put my finger in them, then only for the dentist to tell me that she cannot see any holes. Furthermore one of my tooth was evidently wobbly and even that she claimed that she couldn't see. When i asked for advice of how to address gaps in teeth, she suggested bonding then gave the price while saying that it will make my teeth look very big.
I'll be making an official complaint So I ended up visiting another dentist a few weeks later who had to do an emergency referral to have both my wisdom tooth extracted (these were the one that had the massive holes) as I was informed that it would threaten the health of my other teeth. The referral dentist asked why I left it so long - so this is what happens when dentist discriminate against NHS patients over private patients

Waste of my time, dentist rude and knicker twitchy over patients, abusive, claims she can't do a task because it's NOT WORT IT and refuses me dental treatment Gives me a bad gut feeling in the waiting room. Others, young people, don't like it in there Something wrong. Bloody dentists terror networks
