Dental Implants

Our dental implant treatments restore missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking solutions. Using Nobel Biocare systems, we provide single implants, full arch replacements, and bone grafting where needed. Patients benefit from improved chewing function, facial aesthetics, and long-term oral health. Our experienced implantologists ensure precise placement and restoration for optimal results.

Cosmetic Dentistry

We offer comprehensive cosmetic treatments including teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers. Our approach combines aesthetic artistry with dental science to address discolouration, misalignment, and damaged teeth. Patients receive customised treatment plans to achieve natural, confidence-boosting results while maintaining oral functionality.

Oral Surgery

Our oral surgery services cover extractions, apical microsurgery, and pre-prosthetic procedures. Using advanced imaging technology, we plan interventions with precision. Patients receive thorough pre-operative consultations and post-operative care to ensure comfortable recovery and optimal healing outcomes.

Our hygienists provide professional cleaning, gum disease management, and oral hygiene education. Treatments include scaling, polishing, and fluoride applications to prevent decay. Regular hygienist visits help maintain periodontal health and prolong the lifespan of dental restorations.

Absolutely brilliant dentist, seen my daughter at very short notice. She is very nervous of dentists due to a terrible previous experience at a different practice. Louisa was absolutely amazing with her and sorted her out very quickly. Thank you so much. Can't recommend enough.

I cant fault this practice, from Raj checking my impacted wisdom tooth and explaining fulling what it would entail to remove it. I am terrified of dentists. But returned under sedation from Raj to have me tooth removed. Would not hesitate to return and have further treatment. Thank you Raj

Enquired about having my wisdom teeth removed which my NHS dentist could not perform (for some unknown reason). I telephoned Heaton Dental Clinic and was given an appointment very quickly. Dr Raj examined my teeth and was able to remove all four the very next day. No messing around, it was done with ease. I was treated extremely well by all members of staff who are very friendly and professional. I have had no issues with recovery - I am extremely pleased with the care and professionalism. If you have any wisdom teeth issues please see Dr Raj!
