Services

Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with custom crowns to restore function and aesthetics. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure secure integration with your jawbone, providing a natural-looking replacement that lasts decades. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and confidence in their smile.

Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening addresses discolouration through safe, effective bleaching methods. We offer customised trays and in-practice treatments to achieve noticeable results while minimising sensitivity. Patients enjoy enhanced confidence from a brighter smile, with effects maintained through proper oral hygiene and periodic touch-ups as needed.

Orthodontics

Our orthodontic services, including Invisalign clear aligners, correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Treatment plans address both aesthetic concerns and functional improvements for better oral health. Patients experience gradual tooth movement with reduced visibility compared to traditional metal braces, achieving straighter smiles in months rather than years.

Composite Bonding

Composite bonding restores chipped, cracked, or discoloured teeth using tooth-coloured resin. This minimally invasive procedure reshapes teeth and closes gaps in a single visit. Patients benefit from immediate aesthetic improvements with minimal enamel removal, making it a cost-effective alternative to veneers.

Facial Aesthetics

Wrinkle relaxing injections target expression lines using Botulinum toxin A administered by trained dental professionals. Treatments smooth forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet for a rejuvenated appearance lasting 3-4 months. Patients appreciate non-surgical facial rejuvenation performed in a clinical setting with dental anatomy expertise.

Myself and family have been patients here for more years than I care to remember. It's always an anxious time when your dentist retires but the transition was made easy. The long term receptionists know their patients. Sally and Tracey are always personally welcoming, accommodating in an emergency and very knowledgeable with advice on the phone. My hygienist Charlotte is friendly and her work is excellent.

1st time.running 30 mins late. At one point 8 people + 2 in reception in a non ventilated area. 1 receptionist with hacking cough. Not good enough Your reply. You have my contact details. You are aware of my mobility ssue. You could have saved me a trip. I did not say the receptionist had covid. I said she had a hacking cough. Both contagious. One patient came into the practice unmasked. The room was airless. There were nurses walking up and down constantly.

I have been a client for over 30 years. I have always found Kelvin House staff to be unfailingly welcoming, polite and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending the practice wholeheartedly.

I've had a similarly bad experience. I joined this practice for Paul Downes' great reputation. Sadly, he retired shortly after I went on their books. I did let my attendance lapse but needed emergency dental care last week. I called to make an appointment only to be told I couldn't be seen until Christmas Eve.when I pressed the receptionist about getting an emergency appointment she told me those are reserved for more regular attendees and by the way, because I hadn't been for 4 years the price would be 81 instead of the usual 65.

This left me with excruciating pain that got so bad I had to call 111 over the weekend, when a dentist called me back, listened to my symptoms and straight away prescribed strong antibiotics. Luckily, another dental practice in Whitstable has taken my condition rather more seriously and I have an appointment there within the week. Having said all of this, when I have had treatment at Kelvin House it's been good but unfortunately how you are treated over the phone leaves much to be desired.

I have been going there over 25 years, Paul Downs looked after all my family, especially my children. Routine appointments every 6 months. He was amazing and deserved the wonderful reputation he had. Sadly now, I feel very, very let down, it seems the Practice is money orientated and my estimate yesterday was extortionate. I won't be going back.
