Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with advanced cosmetic treatments including porcelain veneers, composite bonding, and smile makeovers. Our dentists combine artistic skill with technical expertise to create natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining functional integrity. Treatments address discolouration, misalignment, and structural imperfections.
Dental Implants
Restore missing teeth with durable implant solutions that mimic natural tooth function. We offer single implants, implant-supported bridges, and denture stabilisation. Our specialists use 3D imaging technology for precise placement, ensuring long-term success and bone preservation through biocompatible titanium fixtures.
Teeth Whitening
Achieve a brighter smile with professional whitening systems containing medical-grade hydrogen peroxide. Custom trays allow convenient at-home treatment with superior results compared to over-the-counter products. We also offer in-surgery whitening for faster transformation while maintaining enamel safety.
Preventative Care
Maintain optimal oral health through regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and tailored hygiene advice. Our hygienists provide periodontal assessments, plaque control strategies, and dietary guidance to prevent decay and gum disease, with fluoride applications available for enhanced protection.
Orthodontics
Correct dental alignment with discreet Invisalign clear aligners. This removable system gradually repositions teeth without traditional metal braces, allowing easier oral hygiene maintenance during treatment. We offer complimentary consultations to assess suitability for this aesthetic orthodontic solution.

Took my son Callum to see Jason this evening. Callum is extremely nervous about seeing the dentist, however, Jason was so patient and understanding, he could not have been more helpful. Many thanks to all at Grays

Being an avid horror movie fan my anxiety was running somewhat wild during a visit to have an upper wisdom tooth removed. However the entire process from start to finish (receptionist included) was in fact dare I say. Pleasurable?! I didn't feel a thing at all and my nerves were quickly soothed by Simon and his team. I write this the following day and my mouth is pretty much back to normal with only the smallest of aches that I'm sure will have gone when I wake up tomorrow. Looking forward to having the other removed! Genuinely couldn't recommend highly enough.

Not one of Simon's personal friends so I'm not going to write a bogus review and make out he's the best thing since sliced bread. Accurately though I can describe the receptionist as ill suited to dealing with the public.

I have been a patient here for a number of years, having been at a few practices before. I'm very pleased with the service. I go for my six monthly check-ups, and Simon keeps me informed with regards to any issues which may arise in the future, but invariably "we'll keep an eye on it" is as far as it goes - I have never once thought he would recommend an intervention unless it was necessary and in my best interests. My wife and sons attend here also. Thoroughly recommend.

Friendly, professional dental & hygiene appointments always. Simon is a perfectionist and I feel totally confident of his ability. Alex, my hygienist is so knowledgeable and thorough in her work. I travel a long way to see them and would never use anybody else!

To be honest, I am terrified of the dentist. I've had some really bad experiences throughout the years. Finding grays was an absolute godsend. I'm not scared of going to see Simon, he is always really calm and takes his time with whatever procedure he is doing. Best dentist I've ever seen, hands down.
