Services
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services restore missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking solutions. Using advanced imaging technology, we plan and place implants that integrate with your jawbone for lasting stability. Ideal for patients seeking durable alternatives to dentures, our implants enhance chewing function and aesthetics while preserving facial structure.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer teeth whitening, crowns, and bridges to improve dental aesthetics. Our CEREC technology enables same-day ceramic restorations for damaged or discoloured teeth. These treatments boost confidence by creating uniform, natural-looking smiles while maintaining optimal oral health.
Emergency Dentistry
Same-day emergency appointments address acute dental pain, infections, or trauma. Our team prioritises rapid pain relief and infection control, offering extractions or root canal treatments when necessary. This service ensures immediate care for unexpected dental crises, minimising complications.
Preventative Dentistry
Regular check-ups, hygiene sessions, and mouth cancer screenings prevent dental issues. We educate patients on effective home care and provide sports mouthguards for injury prevention. These measures reduce long-term treatment needs by maintaining gum and tooth health proactively.
Sedation Services
Dental sedation helps nervous patients undergo treatments comfortably. Administered by qualified professionals, this service ensures relaxation during procedures while maintaining patient safety. It enables individuals with dental phobia to receive essential care without distress.

Phones and emails are never answered and when you cancel appointments you are then told by the rather rude receptionist that you are no longer eligible for NHS as they have revoked your privileges and you now need to pay becuase you have failed to attend appointments, same appointments that you have actually cancelled! Shockingly bad service designed to pressure NHS patients into paying for treatment, which from the other reviews appears to be a current trend for this dentist! I was also quoted under 100 for a filling yet had to pay 200 on the day PLUS the tooth is now perpetually painful after having the filling done!

I am not really one for writing reviews but I believe this is nessacey due to my recent experience. Myself and my child have been removed from the list for missing appointments. Late cancellation. The last appointments we missed was three years ago when I went into pre-term labour. The practice manager said this was not relevant. We have since had about 4 appointments we have not missed or been late for.
Make of this what you will. If your are looking at this practice as a private patient, I would look for somewhere less hartless, more kind and less disorganised. Also on another note the receptionist can on occasion be quite rude and blunt. A little more customer service and bedside manner goes a long way.

I lost my place with the nhs dentist as my dentist left the practice. So emailed Meavy as a private paying for scale and polish. Lady rang back (!) to offer a few dates and times for which I couldnt make. A week later she rang back to say there were 3 cancellations the next day. I took one slot and she insisted on a pre-payment of 65 for scale and polish. She confirmed that I wouldnt pay any more.
Guess what? I had to pay 5 more because she quoted the wrong price the receptionist say. The hygienist was great but this practice is 'interesting': (1) reading the reviews, while their nhs patients get cancelled i was offered an array of times and dates without me having to ring them a single time! (2) quoted, confirmed and paid one amount but was charged more less than 24 hours later. I will avoid.

We (myself, my son and my daughter) have been with Meavy for over 7 years. We have had 9 cancellations in that time, 3 recently. My daughter was taken off their NHS list without any communication because I apparently missed 2 appointments (Feb 2019 and Sep 2021). While I can't remember the one in 2019, I definitely would not have missed the one in 2021 as my daughter was in urgent need of a filling.
It took over 4 months to get an appointment for this. I emailed them.no reply. They said they called me on the day of the missed appointment in September which is simply not the case. My daughter still needs a filling! Extremely cross!
