Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, combining titanium posts with natural-looking crowns. Our specialists use advanced imaging technology to ensure precise placement, restoring both function and aesthetics. Patients benefit from improved eating ability, speech clarity, and renewed confidence in their smile.
Smile Makeover
Customised smile transformations combine multiple treatments like veneers, whitening, and orthodontics. Our team creates natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining dental health. Treatments address discolouration, misalignment, and damaged teeth for comprehensive aesthetic improvement.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides discreet teeth straightening using removable clear aligners. Suitable for both adults and children, this orthodontic solution corrects alignment issues without traditional metal braces. Treatment plans use digital imaging for precise, gradual tooth movement.
Hygienist Services
Professional cleaning and oral hygiene maintenance prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Our hygienists provide scaling, polishing, and tailored home care advice. Regular appointments help detect early signs of dental issues for timely intervention.
Emergency Appointments
Same-day emergency dental treatment addresses acute pain, broken teeth, or dental trauma. Our team prioritises urgent cases during practice hours, with out-of-hours guidance available through our answering service for immediate care needs.

Report
I had an emergency appointment which i had only phoned the day before, I was told over the phone that the full treatment might not be able to be completed. But when I arrived the dentist said she was able to complete the treatment. Virginia Lees Was very professional and explained what she was doing. I am very satisfied with the treatment i experienced.

I have been going to Guildhall Dental for must be 30 years plus. My previous dentist retired and I now have Michael Platter. I was a little apprehensive having a new dentist after having the same one for all those years, but I find Michael really lovely, very approachable yet professional. I was seen on time and am happy with the service provided. Thank you.

I was impressed at the ability to get an appointment so quickly following a call to ask for some work on my teeth between 6 monthly appointments. All staff were helpful and polite and my dentist Dr Virginia Lee was most helpful and informative.

My experience was good. I do still miss the magazines that helped me while away waiting time and the protecting gear around the reception area is overbearing. Nothing to be done I guess. I would give five stars to the dental care, which is important of course.
